L-Acoustics announces that it is supporting the upcoming NAMM Believe in Music Week, running from January 18 to 22, the digital alternative to the 2021 NAMM Show canceled due to the pandemic.
Specifically, the company is sponsoring a virtual Marketplace booth where it will be hosting a lineup of eight unique video sessions on a variety of topics, all with live Q&A.

“NAMM has always been much more than an industry trade show,” says Alan Macpherson, CEO, L-Acoustics Americas. “The organization’s reach in music advocacy, market development, and educational focus have all been key to keeping NAMM’s strong leadership position. Shows have thrived, despite sea changes in the market over the years, and this is evidenced by the smart and concerted effort to bring professional audio to the fore. This year, NAMM has risen to a new challenge, yet again with its Believe in Music Week, a well thought out alternative to the in-person trade show that should provide excellent interaction. L-Acoustics is proud to be part of it, and we look forward to making quality connections with both new and existing customers this month.”
