The NAB Show is one of those events where the whole industry seems to exhale at once. After months of heads-down production work, creatives and post professionals from around the world converge in Las Vegas to see what’s new, swap war stories, and get a first look at the tools that will shape how stories get told next.
This year, NAB 2026 takes place April 18–22 (exhibits: April 19–22) at the Las Vegas Convention Center. OWC will be at Booth N2373 in the North Hall and there’s going to be a lot to see.
