Can I get a letter of invitation for my visa application?  

Yes. If you’ve already registered, a letter of invitation was sent to the email address we have on file. You must finish your registration and payment online before the letter is sent. You will have to take the invitation letter along with a visa application to a U.S. consulate in your country. The U.S. consulate will review your application and determine whether a visa will be granted.    

If someone is applying to their embassy (and is registered), they may ask for a U.S. contact person:   

Dorian Sullivan   
VP, Marketing Strategy & Planning  
1 M Street, SE   
Washington DC, 20003   
Email: [email protected]   
Phone: (202) 429-5300   

If I register for the show and my visa application is denied, will I get a refund?  

Yes.  We understand that being granted a visa is something beyond your control.  Make sure you keep copies of your registration and letter of denial to provide as proof when you apply for a refund.

Can you contact the U.S. Embassy in my country to expedite my visa application?  

No. U.S. Embassies do not accept communications from NAB related to scheduling visa interviews or the acceptance of visa applications. It is up to you, the registered individual to submit the completed visa application, along with the printed letter of invitation provided during registration, to your in-country U.S. Embassy.   

Can NAB help with getting a visa/visa application?  

Thank you very much for your interest in attending NAB Show. Unfortunately, we do not have any influence on the visa application process by the United States.  We sympathize with your situation and we are realizing that a large number of visa renewals and applications are taking much longer than expected because of a backlog of applications that grew during the pandemic. Many embassies were not open or processing these requests resulting in a longer wait time. We suggest that you still put your application in and try for the 2025 New York Show in October, or the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas next year.   

I registered and requested an invitation letter, but have not received one. How do I get one?  

If the invitation letter does not generate when clicking the box in the online registration form, provide the following information to Dorian Sullivan, NAB’s VP, Marketing Strategy & Planning, via email at [email protected]:    

First Name
Last Name
Job Title (Optional)
Company

City   
Street Address (Optional)   
Phone Number (Optional)   
Email Address   
Company Website URL (Optional)

As an exhibitor, how do I get visas for my colleagues located in another country?   

Go into your exhibitor portal and click on the button “Add Booth Personnel.” It will take you to the registration page where you will need to enter your booth personnel’s contact information.  Be sure to put in their names as it would appear on their passport as well as their company email and physical address overseas.  After you register your booth personnel, a visa letter will be automatically generated and sent to your colleagues’ inbox.  This email sometimes ends up in spam, so make sure to check there frequently.     

Where can I find information about NAB membership?
