What is NAMM?

For those of you who don't know what The NAMM Show is, The National Association of Music Merchants or NAMM for short is one of the largest and most popular music trade shows in the world. The annual event is held at the Anaheim Convention Centre in Anaheim, California, USA every January with music lovers the world over flooding to this impressive location. NAMM 2017 is being held from Thursday 19th January 2017 - Sunday 22nd January 2017.

The NAMM Show is a brilliant platform to engage, promote and interact with music lovers from all over the world, providing music innovations, support and solutions for music professionals. It is the destination for emerging products and innovations from the very best of the industry. An event founded in 1901, which has grown from strength to strength since then.
