Exhibitors Flocking back to NAB

If plans for the upcoming NAB 2023 show in Las Vegas are any indication, the industry’s return to busy and crowded live events following the pandemic is accelerating. The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) recently reported that as of mid-February, more than 1,000 companies had signed up to exhibit at the show, which takes place April 15-19. That number includes more than 140 first-time exhibitors for the first time ever, and the show will be back to occupying the three main halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The NAB also reports that exhibit sales were continuing at a brisk pace as of press time—nearly 20 percent ahead of 2022’s numbers.
