NAB Will Return to Las Vegas in 2022

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) trade show, a Las Vegas staple since 1991 until Covid-19, will return to the Las Vegas Convention Center next April 23-27.

“We are reimagining NAB Show to more closely mirror today’s media, entertainment and technology ecosystem in a way that is intuitive and makes it easier for attendees to navigate the event,” said Chris Brown, executive vice president and managing director of NAB’s Global Connections and Events, in a news release. “We are also thrilled to offer new curated experience zones designed to spotlight innovation, stimulate meaningful networking, inspire new ways of thinking and provide premium education, insights and a focus on real-world implementation.”

The 2020 NAB show was one of the first major trade shows canceled due to Covid-19. According to Press Las Vegas, organizers planned for an October 9-13 show, but canceled it in mid-September with the surge of the delta variant.

Up to 100,000 broadcast professionals attend NAB at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the next-door Westgate. This year’s show will be in the Convention Center’s new West Hall as well as the North and Central halls.

Brown said the theme of the show will be “Create, Connect and Capitalize.”
