NAB Cancels 2020 NAB Show New York, Plans Online Version

Not This Year

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS (NAB) has cancelled its annual NEW YORK convention, with the 2020 NAB SHOW NEW YORK being converted into a digital event this year due to continuing uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic. The video-centric (with some podcasting panels) event, originally scheduled for OCTOBER 21-22, will be instead held online in the manner of the NAB SHOW EXPRESS and will take place sometime in FALL 2020.

NAB EVP/Conventions and Business Operations CHRIS BROWN said in a letter to members that the move was made "(t)aking into account the health and safety of our show community" and indicated that the live event will resume in 2021.
