The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS (NAB) announced registered attendance increased fivefold for the second annual NAB SHOW SHANGHAI, held DECEMBER 6th through 9th at the KERRY HOTEL and the adjacent SHANGHAI NATIONAL INTERNATIONAL EXPO CENTER in SHANGHAI. The event, which was co-produced by the INTERNATIONAL HIGH TECH CULTURAL DEVICE CLUSTER, attracted over 5,000 attendees from around the world, representing a 525% increase over last year.

Designed for media professionals involved in the creation, management and distribution of content across broadcast and digital mediums, NAB SHOW SHANGHAI has since evolved into a one-of-a-kind convention for showcasing cutting-edge technology, promoting innovation and offering the opportunity for content creators to gain global perspectives and valuable tools to advance their craft. 

NAB EVP Conventions/Business Operations CHRIS BROWN commented, “This event plants the NAB and NAB SHOW flag in one of the fastest growing media markets in the world. NAB SHOW SHANGHAI is taking off and reaching new heights as indicated by this year’s growth in attendance and exhibits. We look forward to continuing to develop this unique convention as it becomes the premier event of its kind.”
