NAB Show Streaming Summit

Overview

NAB Show Streaming Summit is a conference and workshop program focused on streaming, OTT, and connected TV topics within the broader NAB Show umbrella. It brings together industry speakers and exhibitors to discuss monetization, streaming technology, distribution, playback, measurement, and related infrastructure.¹³⁹

History

The Streaming Summit was launched as a NAB-affiliated event partnership with Dan Rayburn in 2018, initially announced as a “Streaming Summit by Dan Rayburn” tied to NAB Vegas.² NAB later described it as being produced by streaming industry expert Dan Rayburn, including for the New York edition in 2023.³ By 2026, the NAB Show Streaming Summit had expanded to a two-day program with two tracks and approximately 85 speakers.¹ The summit’s public video archives show recurring annual editions in Las Vegas and other NAB Show events.⁴⁸

Product Lines

Manufacturing

This is an event and content brand, not a physical goods manufacturer. Its output consists of conferences, workshops, exhibitor programs, and recorded session videos, produced through NAB Show and event partners rather than in-house manufacturing.¹³⁴

Notable Products

• NAB Show Streaming Summit (Las Vegas) - Annual summit within NAB Show focused on streaming business and technology issues.¹⁴⁸

Reputation

Among streaming professionals, the summit is viewed as a focused, industry-specific forum rather than a broad trade show. Its value comes from practitioner-led sessions and the association with Dan Rayburn’s long-running coverage of streaming media markets.¹³⁶ A limitation is that it is a conference brand with no consumer products, so its influence is event-based and tied to NAB Show programming rather than a standalone company identity.¹⁵
