Registration opened on October 1, 2014 for NAMM members planning to attend the 2015 NAMM Show. The world’s largest trade-only event for the music products industry returns to the Anaheim Convention Center January 22-25. NAMM Show badges open doors to more than 5,000 music product, instrument and technology brands, special events, educational sessions and live entertainment.
"NAMM members who make the trip to Anaheim have already demonstrated their commitment to succeed, using the platform of the NAMM Show to stay current on industry trends and business practices to make better decisions in the year ahead,” said Joe Lamond, president and CEO of NAMM. "This event is the crossroads of the global music industry and there is no better place to see all the exciting new products under one roof, meet and hear from industry leaders who are shaping the future for us all and at the same time attend some of the most enjoyable music and networking events of the whole year. We’re looking forward to producing a fun and productive show for our members in January.”
Take care of two birds with one visit to NAMM.org, as NAMM member hotel bookings also kick off today. Hotel bookings for non-members start November 12. Book early to enjoy the most choices from the more than 40 hotels to choose from.
Submit bands and performers to play the NAMM Show between now and October 10. With four different stages expect nearly every type of act imaginable – from acoustic to electronic – over the music-filled four days. Front and center, the NAMM GoPro Stage at the Grand Plaza will light up days and nights with music. Around the corner, The Venue Stage presented by Pioneer DJ will feature EDM and some of the most iconic DJs of our time. Then in the evenings, catch up with friends over live music in the Hilton and Marriott lobbies.
New in 2015, enjoy the Southern California sunshine Backstage @ NAMM Presented by Nissan Commercial Vehicles. This casual networking area just behind the NAMM GoPro Stage at The Grand Plaza will feature food, drink and live streaming entertainment throughout the day.
With educational and networking opportunities for every tribe in the music products industry, including a chat with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, this is lining up to be a NAMM Show for the books. Starting January 7, 2015, badge registrations will incur a $50 fee, so it pays to register early. Limited exhibit space to reach the most important music products buyers and decision makers in the world is still available.
