The annual convention was set to take place Oct. 9-13. NAB’s 2020 show also was canceled due to the coronavirus. The show released a statement announcing the cancellation.

“For more than a year, we have worked tirelessly to bring our industry together safely in Las Vegas at NAB Show,” the statement said. “Unfortunately, the pandemic and surge of the Delta variant has presented unexpected and insurmountable challenges for our global community. As we have always kept the best interest and safety of the industry as our priority, it has become apparent in the face of these challenges that we can no longer effectively host NAB, or our co-located events, the Radio Show and Sales and Management Television Exchange, in person.”
