Press

Applicants for media registration must show employment by or assignment for a publication or program that is previously established, independent and regularly updated with original industry-related news. 

Media accreditation is reserved for working members of the press only. This includes editors, reporters, producers, camera crews, still photographers and industry analysts.

Note: Video production companies send thousands of media personnel to NAB Show, but do not receive press badges unless they prove that they are reporting on the event for a specific news organization.

Review the News Media Agreement and Audio / Visual Policy for important information regarding photography, audio and video taken at the Show.
