About this event

NAB's annual advocacy conference — local radio and television broadcasters from across the country meet with their members of Congress on policy priorities for local stations. NAB's own events page lists the 2027 edition as "March 2027 | Washington, D.C." without specific dates; the dates shown here are an estimate based on the 2026 edition (March 3-4), and this listing will be updated when NAB publishes the official schedule.
