The 2025 NAB Show New York wrapped up yesterday at the Javits Center, drawing more than 12,000 attendees from nearly 100 countries for two days of future-focused sessions, exhibits and hands-on technology experiences.
The event featured more than 260 exhibitors and sponsors, including 51 companies exhibiting for the first time. Attendees explored trends in artificial intelligence, broadcast innovation, digital storytelling and creator-driven content.
“This is where stories meet strategy,” said Karen Chupka, NAB’s executive vice president of Global Connections and Events. “We’re giving attendees hands-on access to the people and platforms shaping what’s next — from AI in newsrooms to the new power dynamics of creators, sports leagues and local broadcasters.”
The show’s programming included a “Future of Journalism” track focused on AI’s role in newsroom workflows, ethics and media trust, featuring NAB President Curtis LeGeyt, Brian Stelter, Oliver Darcy and Sara Fischer.
In a keynote session, U.S. Soccer executives Catherine Newman and David Wright joined FOX Sports’ Stu Holden to discuss digital engagement strategies ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Other sessions explored sports storytelling, data and fandom with speakers from the NFL, FanDuel Sports Network, Genius Sports and the women’s sports media brand TOGETHXR.
Day two of the show featured Creator Day, highlighting social commerce, digital production and hands-on creator experiences. Attendees could test FUJIFILM’s latest cameras and lenses and participate in Post|Production World New York training sessions for editors, producers and motion designers.
Exhibitors included industry leaders such as Avid, Blackmagic Design, Canon, Dell Technologies, Panasonic Connect, Ross Video and Western Digital. Networking events and interactive displays connected professionals across AV, broadcast and digital media sectors.
The NAB Show New York continues to position itself as a key East Coast hub for media technology and content innovation.
