The 2025 NAB Show has released its attendance figures.
The 2025 NAB Show closed yesterday, with the Las Vegas event again providing a platform for the worldwide media and entertainment industry.
This year’s show attracted some 55,000 registered attendees from 160 countries. Just over one in four (26 per cent) travelled from outside the US and 53 per cent of participants registered for the first time which, the organisers said, reflected the expanding appeal and relevance of NAB Show on a global scale.
Karen Chupka, executive vice president of NAB Show, commented, “The 2025 NAB Show truly exemplified the vibrant evolution of media and entertainment, debuting tools and technologies for all storytellers. This year’s show provided a global platform for innovation, diverse voices, and forward-thinking conversations that will shape the future of storytelling and empower everyone to become a content creator.”
Over five days, the show featured more than 1,000 speakers and over 550 conference sessions. The exhibition floor space was bigger than eight football fields and hosted nearly 1,100 global exhibitors, with 125 of them appearing for the first time.
“This is our Super Bowl,” said David Ross, CEO of Ross Video. “You’ve got to come to NAB – it’s the biggest trade show in our industry. This is our chance to show the full breadth of our portfolio to all our customers.”
NAB Show returns to New York on October 22-25 with the Las Vegas Convention Center once again hosting next year’s event on April 18-22, 2026.
