Welcome to ProSoundWeb’s ongoing coverage for the NAMM 2012 Show.
Held January 19-22 at the Anaheim Convention Center, the show drew more than 95,000 attendees from the world of professional audio and music, coming from more than 100 countries.
The show floor hosted exhibits from 1,400-plus manufacturers, with hundreds of new products expected to make their debut. NAMM also provides an ever-growing slate of educational courses and programs.
In addition, the show offered well over 100 live performances and events both on-site and in venues proximate to the convention center.
A couple of interesting notes:
—This was the 110th NAMM Show, making it one of the longest running trade shows in the U.S.
—The show annually generates more than $70 million in revenue to the Orange County economy (Source: calculated using Trade Show Week formula of economic impact)
PSW is continuing to provide updates from the show. Be sure to check back here often.
