NAB Show New York 2026

The event takes place at Javits Center in New York, NY.

The organizer identifies media, technology professionals, creators and broadcasters as audiences for the event.

It is most useful for broadcasters, media technology buyers and creators who want hands-on demos and direct access to product specialists, since the show draws media, technology and creator audiences to the Javits Center. It is a smaller, regional counterpart to the main NAB Show, so those who need the widest vendor range may get less from it, and anyone outside media and broadcast workflows will find little relevant content.

Attendees at media and broadcast trade shows usually wear business casual or smart casual, with comfortable shoes for long hours on a large convention floor like the Javits Center. Creators and engineers often dress more casually, in jeans and branded tops.
