Each year the NAMM Show generates thousands of local, national and international news stories, including print, online and TV coverage.

There’s no place better to get your products noticed by the media than in the NAMM Virtual Press Room. NAMM Show exhibitors can upload one PDF file of up to 128 MB that includes press releases, product photos, press kits and other promotional materials that you would like to make available to the media during the show.

The site gives exhibitors the opportunity to time their postings in coordination with their product launches and the freedom to make changes and revise or add materials all the way through the show. Prior to the NAMM Show, all registered media will be directed to the Virtual Press Room to explore the show-related materials they might find of interest.

From Facebook to Twitter and beyond, NAMM utilizes the power of social media to reach the masses with updates on the show. In addition, NAMM’s website features daily news packages, live streaming video of musical performances from the Grand Plaza stage, highlight clips straight from the show floor, and photo galleries of the colorful people, products and musical events that make the NAMM Show one of a kind.

NAMM also assists news stations with their pre-show coverage and reports throughout the show, so that the media can share the latest, greatest gear from around the globe and help create demand for all things musical.

NAMM Trade Shows

January 23–26, 2014 • Anaheim, California

The world’s largest industry-only music products trade show, attended by more than 95,000 people from around the globe. This is the place to see the newest trends, innovations and musical gear.

July 17–19, 2014 • Nashville, Tennessee

Summer NAMM is our midyear show where we celebrate the importance of the local community music store and honor our industry’s Top 100 Dealers. Many people prefer this show’s slower, friendlier pace, which provides them with more quality time for conducting business.

September 2014 • Moscow, Russia

In an effort to grow new markets and encourage professional development and music education in the region, NAMM is once again co-producing two trade shows in Russia with Messe Frankfurt. NAMM Musikmesse Russia will focus on the musical instrument sector, while the ProLight + Sound NAMM Russia show will concurrently represent pro audio, lighting and event technology.

For more information about exhibiting at any of these shows, contact your NAMM Business Partner directly, email tradeshowsales@namm.org, call 800-767-6266 (760-438-8001) or visit namm.org.
