NAMM has announced a new support program designed to encourage international visitors to attend the NAMM Show, called Visa Assist.
The new program aims to offer helpful guidance for international attendees and to streamline the visa acquisition process.
“The music products industry is truly a global community and no place better exemplifies that than the NAMM Show,” said Joe Lamond, president and CEO of NAMM. “Our goal with Visa Assist is simple: to ease the red tape in acquiring a visa so that every member feels at home in Anaheim in January.”
The Visa Assist program is set to launch on Wednesday, 27th July as part of the 2017 NAMM Show badge registration. Located at namm.org/visa-information, Visa Assist will offer attendees and exhibitors a letter of invitation to attend the show along with critical advice and assistance in the visa process. International NAMM members and other industry professionals interested in participating in the program are encouraged to visit the webpage to request a letter of invitation before 1st October, 2016.
The 2017 NAMM Show will be held January 19-22 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Annually, the show draws nearly 100,000 attendees from 125 countries. Badge registration and housing requests for all 2017 show attendees will open on Wednesday, 27th July on NAMM.org.
