THE RIGHT TIME NAB Show®
SPROCKIT Sync
Simply put, SPROCKIT Hub at NAB Show is the place to be. NAB Show is the world’s largest and most important media and entertainment event. With over 102,000 attendees from 160+ countries and more than 1,800 exhibitors, NAB Show attendees represent billions of dollars in purchasing power. But with so many exhibitors and so many attendees, how will your company get noticed?
An essential benefit of your SPROCKIT membership, Sync meetings are all about spending targeted quality time with the right decision-makers in intimate day-long private forums. Working side by side with corporate decision makers at Sync is very different than flying on a plane for a one-hour meeting and then trying to follow-up for months at a time. Sync puts you in the inner circle.

Sync events are designed for the CEOs and founders of our start-up community to make both business and personal connections with the leadership of our corporate partners, peers, thought-leaders VIDEO: SPROCKIT Sync meeting at FOX and invited guests. It’s not about “pitching” or “speed dating.” It’s about building long-term relationships and collaborating. The corporates and start-ups are working together in groups and one-on-one meetings, doing demos, networking and attending exclusive dinners. Three times a year, all of our corporate members and start-ups come together, often sitting around a boardroom table and in small groups. Each Sync meeting is carefully designed to encourage knowledge sharing and enable startups to directly deliver innovative ideas for solving defined business problems to the very people charged with partnering and/or acquiring new solutions.
