The National Association of Broadcasters announced that NABShow New York 2016 was a record breaking success in registered attendance! The exhibit featured a solid 362 featured companies showing off their technologies that spanned the Javits Convention Center's 63,011 net square feet of exhibit space! Which increased at a nice 15% in registered attendance from 2015 to 15,404 for 2016!
The conference showcased the need for an East Coast litter brother (I say that lightly) convention to the massive NAB Las Vegas which attendance numbers range (on the average) over 100,000 attendees every year. Also, as previously announced, NAB Show New York will co-locate with the Audio Engineering Society's East Coast convention next October 18th-19th, 2017 and will certainly increase the attendance by a rough estimated 5-10%.
“The growth of this year’s show is a testament to the power of the NAB Show brand and our ability to produce a dynamic and productive experience for attendees and exhibitors,” said NAB Executive Vice President of Communications Dennis Wharton. “We look forward to continuing to find new ways to serve media and entertainment professions in this unique and thriving New York media market and beyond.”
The current stats are as follows (All numbers are based on pre-show and onsite registration and subject to an ongoing audit): PRELIMINARY REGISTERED ATTENDEES: 15,404; PRELIMINARY REGISTERED INTERNATIONAL ATTENDEES: 1,112; COUNTRIES REPRESENTED: 87
