NAB Announces Attendance of 65,013 at 2023 NAB Show, Up Nearly 20% From 2022

NAB announced a preliminary registered attendance of 65,013 for the 2023 NAB Show, marking a nearly 20% increase over last year’s headcount of 52,468. However, this year’s show still lags significantly behind the 2019 NAB Show – the last to be held in person prior to the pandemic – which had a registered attendance of 91,460. The 65,000 attendees at the 2023 NAB Show included 17,466 international attendees (up from 11,542 in 2022) representing 166 countries (up from 155 in 2022). The show also featured 166 exhibiting companies on the show floor.

“We are thrilled to have so many exhibitors, attendees and partners from around the world join us in Las Vegas to help celebrate 100 years of innovation. More than any other year, everyone is filled with so much enthusiasm and energy as they engage on the show floor, in special sessions and throughout the entire event,” said Curtis LeGeyt, NAB President and CEO. “We thank the NAB Show community for helping us reflect on our collective experience with media and entertainment and for previewing the many innovations we’ll see within the next hundred years.”

International attendance figures are included in the overall registration number. All numbers are based on pre-show and onsite registration and subject to an ongoing audit. NAB also announced that the next NAB Show will be held April 13-17, 2024, in Las Vegas.
