Updated: April 10, 2024
Updates: Check back to this spot for updates to this page. It’s still early so there are a lot of gaps in information that we will be filling in over the next month. We will be utilizing our new Events Calendar, too!
Where to start?
First, you’ll need to register for the show. Be sure to use a free Exhibits-only code to save some dough. Vegas is expensive after all!

NAB Survival Video
A few years ago, we put together a fun survival video for attendees. It’s as relevant this year as it was last!

Booths Not to Miss
It’s early so we haven’t heard if everyone who had booths last year will be participating again. We’ll edit the list below as we get information and add notes as needed. If you have information that we should add, feel free to contact us.
Booth Abbreviations
SL = South Hall Lower Level
SU = South Hall Upper Level
C = Central Hall
W = West Hall
Ren = Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel
The South Hall is back this year after last year’s remodel. There is no North Hall this year and I suspect that it’s the North Hall’s turn for a facelift. The Motion Picture & TV Production exhibitors are in the central Hall this year while Postproduction is in the South Hall Lower.
