NAB announced that more than 60 international delegations,
including Egypt, Vietnam, Peru, Ghana and Poland, are expected to
attend NAB Show, held April 14-19 in Las Vegas. Delegations
attending the show for the first time include Latvia, Chad,
Pakistan and Nepal.
"As the world's largest media and entertainment event, NAB Show
draws attendees and exhibitors from all corners of the globe," said
NAB Executive Vice President of Conventions and Business Operations
Chris Brown. "Each year, around 30 percent of NAB Show attendees
travel from outside the U.S. to this must-see event."
NAB Show has once again been selected from among all shows by
the U.S. Department of Commerce as the most critical
business-to-business industry event to attend for this sector. NAB
Show is a proud participant of the agency's International Buyer
Program, which recruits International Trade Delegations to select
U.S. trade shows and facilitates matchmaking services that connect
international buyers with U.S. suppliers. Last year the program
helped support numerous international attendees representing 153
countries.
In addition to a strong presence of international attendees, NAB
Show's Exhibit Hall will host more than 400 international
corporations. Companies will showcase cutting-edge technology and
services for the electronic media and entertainment industry in
each area of the exhibit floor. Many of these companies will be
featured in seven international country pavilions, including the
U.S. Export Pavilion, Bavarian Pavilion, Belgian Pavilion, Brazil
Pavilion, French Pavilion, KOTRA (Korea Trace-Investment Promotion
Agency) Pavilion, KBTA (Korea Broadcasting Technology Association)
Pavilion and the UK Pavilion c/o Tradefair.
NAB Show also offers a variety of internationally-focused
conference sessions as well as an International Trade Center (ITC)
that features onsite services for international guests including
Commercial Trade Specialists and multi-lingual staff in Spanish,
Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
