NAB Show – April 18–22, 2026 – Las Vegas, NV
Scheduled to take place April 18–22, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the NAB Show confirms its role as one of the leading global events for professionals in broadcast, media, and entertainment. Organized by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), the show brings together decision makers, technology providers, and content companies across the entire audiovisual production and distribution value chain.
The 2026 edition places particular emphasis on the integration of artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, and IP-based workflows, with a focus on tools designed to optimize operations, automate production pipelines, and enable increasingly sophisticated audience data analytics. At the same time, the continued growth of the creator economy and short-form formats is reshaping the balance between traditional broadcasters, streaming platforms, and digital talent.
Among the most notable developments is the expansion of the Sports Summit to four days, now open for the first time to all attendees holding a Show Floor Pass and hosted in the West Hall. The Summit will examine the transformation of the live sports business, with sessions dedicated to media rights, monetization models, capital and ownership trends, women’s sports, and technological innovation for venues and fan engagement.
Opening the program, Jon Miller, President of Acquisitions and Partnerships at NBC Sports, will participate in a fireside conversation with John Ourand of Puck (“The Varsity”) in a session titled NBC Sports Playbook: Rights, Partnerships and What’s Next. The discussion will explore the strategy behind NBC’s recent rights acquisitions and distribution partnerships at a pivotal moment for the industry, following a “Legendary February” that saw the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, Super Bowl LX, and the NBA All-Star Game take place within the same month. The conversation will also address the continuing central role of broadcast television in long-term sports agreements within an ecosystem increasingly oriented toward integrated linear and streaming models.
The NAB Show 2026 program also includes vertical conferences, workshops, and thematic theaters dedicated to live production, streaming and FAST channels, immersive environments, AI training, and the convergence of media and gaming.
The NAB Show serves as a key vantage point on the innovation drivers shaping media investment worldwide, offering insight into the technologies and business models redefining the global audiovisual marketplace.
