      They had to shorten it to NAMM because the acronym for National Associatation of Music Building Laymen and Artisans was already taken.

        Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

          Nope... it's actually the National Association of Music Merchants. In a nutshell NAMM hosts 2 conventions each year in the US, one in the summer and one in the winter. This is where the manufacturers show their products and the dealers buy them. Endorsers are usually on hand to create dealer excitement and to perform. It's main reason for existing is so manufacturers can sell product. You've got to be a NAMM member (or know one) to attend.

              Technically the group is now called International Music Products Association, but they kept the "NAMM" designation for the shows (I think because it's been known as that for so long).

              BTW the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

                Maybe they should think about changing the name to IMPA? :ROTF:

                              You either need to be an exhibiter,or be very good friends with one (so they give you a pass)

                              It is NOT open to the general public-only people in the music retail trade
