NAB Show New York heads to Manhattan next week

NAB Show New York runs October 21 and 22 at the Javits Center. As well as over 200 exhibitors, day one's theme covers big media and AI; day two covers creators and streaming.

NAB Show New York returns to the Javits Center in Manhattan next week, with the show floor open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on October 21 and 22. Though still dwarfed by the main Las Vegas event, NAB expects more than 200 exhibitors for its East Coast offshoot this year, and says last year’s show drew 11,500 registered attendees from 95 countries.

Conference sessions start a day earlier, on October 20, and the program covers sports, streaming, AI, and the creator economy.

Two days, two themes

On the show floor, four theaters offer free educational programming, including keynote presentations, technology showcases, AI and creator sessions, and specialized programming focused on sports media and professional audio.

NAB has split the 40+ session program in two, and passes are available for either day.

Day one, Big Media, Big Tech, Big Tools, covers sports, the future of journalism, media business and investment, newsroom AI, and broadcast innovation. It includes a dedicated sports track in Theater D and the SMPTE ST 2110 IP Media Roadshow, and is rounded off by the Show Floor Party, a floor-wide gathering where “drinks, conversation and community come together.”

Day two, Next Gen: Creators, Streaming & Sound, covers creator-led businesses, monetization models, streaming transformation, and audience experiences. The Audio Engineering Society (AES) also returns to Theater D on October 22 with a broadcast audio and streaming program on a free-to-access stage.

Exhibitors listed so far for the show floor component include AJA Video Systems, Arista, B&H Photo Video Audio, Blackmagic Design, Chyron, Dell Technologies, Evertz, EVS, Fujifilm, Grass Valley, Quantum, Riedel, Ross Video, Sandisk, and Sennheiser. The show also lists a Show Floor Party, a First-Timer Welcome, and a Career Fair with recruiters from TV and radio stations, media companies, and broadcast ownership groups.

Registration

Show floor passes cost $150 for two days or $100 for one. A flash sale halves those to $75 and $50 through October 18 if you haven’t got your ticket yet. Register here. Show floor passes exclude the conferences, which are priced separately: Post|Production World (which seems more about training to us than anything) is $799, while Local TV Strategies is $699.
