JB&A Announces Pre-NAB 2026: Fresh New Venue, Expanded Line-Up and Exclusive First Look at Broadcast Innovation

JB&A has announced its 20th annual Pre-NAB Technology Event, taking place April 17–18 at Flamingo Las Vegas. Positioned as a preview ahead of NAB Show, the event brings together leading AV, broadcast, and IP workflow brands to showcase upcoming innovations, product launches, and industry trends in a more focused setting.
