Media technology booths, built for the NAB floor

What we built at the LVCC, and the buyer moment each booth was designed around.

An NAB booth has two audiences in the same footprint: the engineer who evaluates the technology at protocol level, and the executive who decides what it is worth. The booths below were designed to serve both at once, under hall lighting, in one of the loudest buildings on the calendar. Every booth we build is priced for Las Vegas on the NAB Show booth rentals page.

Built for NAB

Two NAB booths, two different problems

IMAX 40x50 custom island booth built by Pure Exhibits in the LVCC West Hall for NAB Show
IMAX · 40×50 island · LVCC West Hall

Theatre-grade picture, proven in a living room

IMAX’s streaming and consumer technology division came to NAB to show that cinema quality survives the trip into the home. The booth had to give a streaming engineer and a content executive uncompromised experiences in the same 2,000 square feet.

  • Enclosed theatre with controlled light and sound
  • OLED stations running live side-by-side comparisons
  • A residential living room where partnership conversations happened

MainConcept 20x20 custom island booth built by Pure Exhibits for NAB Show at the LVCC
MainConcept · 20×20 island · LVCC

An ingredient brand, made visible from both sides

MainConcept’s codecs ship inside other companies’ products. Engineers know the name; most of the hall has used the work without seeing it. One 20×20 had to speak to both groups without reading as two companies sharing a stand.

  • A restrained blue-and-white precision zone for engineers
  • A violet island under hanging vines for everyone else
  • A tech chat theatre between them where the conversations happened

What the NAB floor asks of a booth

Four problems we solve on almost every NAB build

01

Picture under hall light

Image demos need shaded or enclosed viewing, or the hall’s lighting decides what the engineer sees.

02

Sound in a loud building

Audio demos need absorption, orientation away from the aisle or a closed room.

03

Two audiences, one footprint

Engineers and executives want different things from the same booth. Zoning by audience keeps both.

04

Gear that has to run all week

Mounts, ventilation, cable paths and overnight power engineered into the structure and tested before it ships.

Screen-led and demo-led islands, built for other shows

The same problems, solved for technology brands elsewhere

These booths were not built for NAB. They are here because they solve the problems an NAB booth faces: large-format screens as structure, demo zones for technical buyers, and seated space for the detailed conversation.

Questions about NAB booth design

Design FAQs

Can you build an enclosed screening or listening room inside an NAB booth?
Yes. Our IMAX booth included an enclosed theatre with controlled light and sound. Enclosed rooms need show approval and add structure, lighting and ventilation, so they belong in the plan from the first drawing.
How do you design for both engineers and executives?
By zoning. Engineers get close access to the working technology and a specialist to talk to; executives get a clear statement of the value and somewhere to sit. MainConcept’s 20×20 did both in one footprint.
Do you supply the screens and LED walls?
We can include screens and LED walls in the fixed price, or build around your own equipment. Either way the mounts, power and cable paths are engineered into the structure and tested before it ships.
Is a rental booth custom enough for NAB?
Every booth on this page is a rental. The structure, layout, graphics and finishes are designed for the brand and the space; the difference is that we own, store and maintain the structure, and you pay one fixed price per show.
