Just got the number’s from NAB’s PR office … the attendance this year is 83,842. That figure includes 23,232 international attendees — many of whom were mega jet-lagged.
That reminds me of a funny story … the first year I came to the how, 1992, I ended up in a small press conference at the Las Vegas Hilton. I guess there were about 25 of us in the room … about 15 minutes into it, we all suddenly heard some pretty loud snoring emanating from the back of the room. It was an international attendee, who was either really tired … or maybe he just took it upon himself to speak for the rest of us. Just kidding!
