Due to the public health emergency surrounding the spread of Coronavirus, the National Association of Broadcasters, NAB has announced the cancellation of the 2020 NAB Show.

The convention was scheduled to take place from April 18 to 22 in Las Vegas.

According to the report from Broadcasting & Cable, NAB is currently considering its options for a future date. NAB Executive Vice President Dennis Wharton said that one possibility could be to beef up the NAB Show New York in scheduled for October 21–22, though also potentially a summer show in Vegas if the virus threat has been mitigated and if NAB could get buy-in from exhibitors. He said NAB would be having those conversations with stakeholders over the coming days to determine their appetite for various options.

NAB President and CEO, Gordon Smith said the cancellation decision was not easy to make but due to the NAB community support the decision was made. He said he’s grateful to the NAB Show community for engaging with the organisation as it grappled with the rapidly-evolving situation.

In his words, this show is as much yours as it is ours, and it is important to us that we move forward together.

He stressed that despite the disappointment at how this year’s show has been impacted by global public health concerns, he is more excited than ever about the future of NAB Show and the relationship with exhibitors and visitors.
