NAMM has announced that this summer’s NAMM NeXT event will now serve the needs of NAMM’s entire global membership base by offering free online sessions on the most vital topics, including:
Global trade; Future of global economic growth; Leadership strategies to navigate disruption
Originally planned as an in-person event in Nashville June 30-July 1, and currently in its second year, NAMM NeXT offers high-quality professional development from globally recognized speakers on topics that impact NAMM members and the music industry.
“In speaking with our NAMM members, it is clear that businesses are laser-focused right now on tariff impacts and navigating economic uncertainty” said John Mlynczak, NAMM president and CEO. “NAMM will always pivot as an association to support our industry, and that focus right now is providing all NAMM members with the most relevant and timely information to help them navigate these recent global economic changes.”
Chris White, Chairman of NAMM’s board of directors and president and CEO of White House of Music, Inc., added “Our NAMM NeXT event is packed with compelling business content and creative ideas. Shifting that incredible content online for free in 2025 will help ALL members. It is the right move at the right time.”
NAMM NeXT online content, which will be complimentary for all NAMM members, will be available starting on July 1.
In addition, NAMM NeXT Europe will still be held June 3-4 in Brussels, where the top music industry brands, companies, and associations from across Europe will meet to focus on how to strengthen our European music products industry.
NAMM will announce the 2026 NAMM NeXT offerings later this year.
