International. The National Association of Music Merchants, NAMM, announced that The NAMM Show, the annual "family reunion" of the global music, sound and entertainment technology industry, will once again meet in Anaheim, California, at the Anaheim Convention Center on June 3. 5, 2022.
Previously scheduled for January 20 and 23, the new dates are due to the fears that the Covid 19 pandemic still generates. Joe Lamond, President and CEO of NAMM, said: "The industry has not stopped evolving and innovating during the pandemic, and The NAMM Show is also evolving. As the health and safety of our members remains a priority, and after listening carefully to businesses here in the U.S. and around the world, the new dates will help members maximize their opportunities and accelerate what has arguably been a transformative time in both new products and how they reach the market."
The news of the Show's return and rescheduling addresses current concerns about pandemic activity, new product development and launch, in-store inventory, and current travel restrictions.
