Media & Entertainment Conventions in Las Vegas

Broadcasters, studios, streamers, cinema owners and live-production crews make up this group. NAB Show is the broadcast and content-technology industry's spring gathering at the LVCC; CinemaCon brings theater owners and studio distribution teams to Caesars Palace for previews of the coming slate; and LDI serves the lighting, sound and staging professionals who build concerts, theater and live events.

We track 3 media shows in Las Vegas with 5,000 or more attendees; 3 have confirmed dates between Dec 2, 2026 and Apr 12, 2027. The largest on the calendar is NAB Show 2027, with a published figure of about 58,000 (2026 figure, per its source), followed by LDI 2026 (Live Design International) (~14K) and CinemaCon 2027 (~6K).

Where they meet: LVCC hosts 2 of these shows; the rest use other Strip resorts and venues. Shows that span two venues are counted at each.

The busiest month is April 2027, with 2 media shows (NAB Show 2027 and CinemaCon 2027).

Weeks that fill the city: we rate the week of Nov 30, 2026 (Packed, with LDI 2026 (Live Design International)) and the week of Apr 5, 2027 (Packed, with NAB Show 2027) as Packed or busier. Expect firmer hotel rates and earlier booking for rooms, dining and talent.
