To Our NAMM Members and Music Industry Professionals,
We continue to stay in close contact with our NAMM members and partners in Los Angeles, including those impacted by the wildfires. We are coordinating relief efforts with NAMM members in L.A. while they all prepare to exhibit at The NAMM Show next week.

Yesterday, we visited the Anaheim Convention Center and confirmed firsthand with city officials that there is no impact on their services or air quality, and we can proceed with a safe and healthy show for all attendees.
NAMM is first and foremost an association that cares deeply for our members and the global music products industry. This year, The NAMM Show will demonstrate our industry’s commitment by uniting as a community in support of those impacted in Los Angeles.
The NAMM Foundation has committed $50,000 to our L.A. Wildfires Relief Fundand is accepting additional contributions. This fund will provide needs-based assistance to NAMM members, employees of NAMM member companies, music education programs and music makers impacted by the fires. We are also coordinating relief centers throughout The NAMM Show in partnership with NAMM member companies and their foundations.
As we gather next week to network, learn and promote the products that drive music making worldwide, we will focus our efforts on how we as an industry come together to support those communities affected by the wildfires. Thank you for your support of our industry and our impacted community members.
See you in Anaheim,
