NAB Show New York 2026

Before you book

Current organizer offers paid show-floor and conference passes for its professional media marketplace. Ordinary broad eligibility is not explicitly established; no trade-credential restriction is invented. Under-16 visitors cannot register/access the floor under the current show policy. Conference access begins October 20; show-floor passes cover October 21–22, 10:00–17:00. Marconi Awards dinner at another facility is excluded.

Check the official page for current prices, availability, registration deadlines and what each pass includes. A general entry pass may not cover every activity. Price and professional eligibility are separate: free registration can still require industry credentials.

Bring a specific use case

Write down the problem you want a product or workflow to solve, the equipment you already own and the connections or file formats you depend on. Ask exhibitors to demonstrate that use case rather than only the headline feature.

Compare complete setups

Record the exact model, accessories, software requirements and recurring costs. Check compatibility and what is actually included in the quoted package. Ask permission before testing or photographing demonstration equipment.

Plan demonstrations and follow-up

Use the published program to prioritize demonstrations or education. Take notes on results you can reproduce later, and keep a named technical contact for questions that require a more detailed answer.

Getting there and moving around

Your listed destination is Javits Center in New York, NY. Confirm the correct building, entrance, parking, public transport and accessibility arrangements with the venue and organizer.
