On June 11, 2015 NMX announced registration for their conference "New Media Expo" which was taking place April 16 - 21 2015. The announcement said they were "colocated" with the NAB Show which is the National Association of Broadcasters. A few weeks after selling "early bird" passes all of NMX's social media accounts went silent and there was a lot of anger online regarding a "virtual" pass that attendees from NMX '15 didn't receive. Around August or September the links on the websites stopped working. No one at NMX responded to emails. I called the NAB Show and they said NMX isn't "colocated" with the Nab Show even though they sold us passes saying they were. No one at NMX is answering any requests for refunds.
As of January 2016 NMX remains "dark" and the we who bought "early bird" passes haven't received any communication. We don't know if there will be another NMX and when or if it is cancelled. I will have to contact my credit card company because I don't trust them any more.

nmx trainwreck
What a shame, NMX was by far my favourite convention to go to. Loads of great people and content.
I think it was a mistake having it with NAB, it really put me off. It felt like we were the Bastard of the family.
I was so put off I decided not to go in 2016.
Apparently there was some personal problems that caused by the negligence.
Really sad
