Citing ‘Insurmountable Challenges,’ NAB Cancels 2021 NAB Show

The National Association of Broadcasters announced today that it has pulled the plug on the NAB Show scheduled for next month in Las Vegas, citing “unexpected and insurmountable challenges” from the COVID-19 pandemic and surge of the Delta variant. “While we are disappointed that we will not be together again in person next month, we look forward to converging at the 2022 NAB Show, April 23-27, 2022, to reignite our passion for our business and focus on a bright future ahead.” Chris Brown, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Global Connections and Events at the NAB said in an announcement.  The trade group plans to announce virtual options for accessing select 2021 NAB Show content through NAB Amplify.
