Winter Namm show, Anaheim, January, 19 - 22, 2006

Kicking off Thursday, January 19th, the winter NAMM 2006 was the first major international show on the agenda 2006 for the music industry. At show close, NAMM reported a four percent increase in overall registration for a grand total of 81,315 registrants. The association previously announced breaking the all-time record of exhibitors with 1,462 companies taking space at this year's NAMM Show. International attendance showed a nine percent increase for a total of 9,170 registrants from 92 countries. At the 2006 gathering, record crowds explored the latest in new product offerings, networked with new and old friends, visited with celebrities and were surrounded by live music in every aisle. Attendees also had the opportunity to learn savvy business tactics at rapid-fire NAMM University sessions. "Industry watchers typically look to the NAMM Show for a first look at the year ahead," said Joe Lamond, president and CEO, NAMM. "And based on what we saw here in Anaheim, there's good reason to be optimistic." NAMM's next trade show for the music products industry, the 2006 NAMM Summer Session, will take place in Austin, Texas, July 14 to 16. The 105th NAMM Show will take place in Anaheim, California, January 18–21, 2007.
