Mac and Music News
Jan 5 - 10:00 AM | Event > NAMM |
Two of NAMM's most important annual events are the trade shows held in January and July. These two conventions, open only to NAMM Members and the music products industry, attract tens of thousands of attendees who want to see new innovations and developments in music making. NAMM shows are unique because in addition to unifying the industry by bringing buyers and sellers together from around the world, the excess revenues from these popular events are funneled back into growing the music products industry. All MacMusic staff will be ready to give you all the news (hardware & software), in real time.
