WASHINGTON, D.C. – Applications are open for Exhibitors to participate in Futures Park, a premier global showcase for cutting-edge research and development (R&D) of broadcast, media and entertainment technology at the 2025 NAB Show, taking place April 6-9, 2025 (Education April 5-9), in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Futures Park is a featured area on the show floor that highlights groundbreaking projects from around the world that are shaping the future of the broadcast, media and entertainment industry. Reserved exclusively for technologies not yet commercially available in 2025, Futures Park is where innovative ideas take center stage.

Universities, research institutes, companies and organizations are invited to present and demonstrate new technologies that are still under development, including those with significant improvements/enhancements. Other areas eligible for display are developments in relevant open standards (including open-source implementations or reference design platforms), media education programs and projects and other non-commercialized, media-related items of interest.

NAB will supply complimentary exhibit space for accepted applications, including booth carpeting, pipe and drape separating contiguous booths and basic identifying signage for the presenting organization. All other exhibit-related expenses are the responsibility of the applicant.

A 10×10-foot booth is the typical exhibit space size, but additional space requests may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the nature of the demonstration and relevance of the innovation being demonstrated for NAB Show attendees.

“Futures Park is a hub for technology innovation at NAB Show,” said Sam Matheny, NAB Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. “It offers a unique platform for trailblazing researchers and developers to present their groundbreaking work, giving attendees an exclusive look at the ideas and technologies that will shape the future of broadcast, media and entertainment.”
