The National Association of Broadcasters’ (NAB) 2026 show at Las Vegas Convention Center from April 18-22 (with exhibits from April 19-22) drew 58,000 from 146 countries, with 22% arriving outside the U.S. Nearly half (48%) were first-time registrants, and 132 of the nearly 1,100 exhibitors (12%) were first-time exhibitors. With its focus mainly on broadcasting, the realm of live sound reinforcement clearly takes a back seat at this event.
