The National Association of Broadcasters announced Friday it will not be rescheduling 2020’s Las Vegas show.

NAB canceled its show March 11, which was scheduled April 18-22 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and expected to draw at least 90,000 attendees and over 1,600 exhibitors.

NAB has come to the difficult but unavoidable conclusion that we cannot reschedule the 2020 @NABShow this year. We will be unveiling a new digital offering called NAB Show Express, and will also be enhancing the NAB Show New York this fall. #NABShow https://t.co/lhvSAbqmqo pic.twitter.com/rLMfuohG8I
