2026 Speaker Expectations

As a confirmed speaker, you are kindly expected to comply with the following:

• Provide unique, dynamic and engaging content for your session.
• Ensure your presentation reflects the session description and is agreed upon with NAB and/or NAB’s partner producers.
• Promote your presence and session on your social media, company newsletters, blogs, podcasts, etc.
• Stay within your allocated presentation time slot. It is critical to stay on schedule so attendees may move between sessions as needed.
• Obtain and share all permissions to use any copyrighted materials.
• Adhere to NAB Show New York policies.
• Allocate time for at least one conference call with your session moderator and/or fellow session speakers.
• Encourage audience participation, especially during Q&A, if built into your session.
• When addressing questions from the floor, repeat the question so the entire audience hears it before your answer.
• Immediately inform NAB if you need to cancel and provide replacement recommendations. Replacement speakers will be vetted if one is not already on the waiting list for that topic.
• In the Sessionboard portal, ensure your contact information, high-resolution headshot and bios are accurate and up to date for marketing purposes.
