About HMT > The 2007 NAMM Show updated March 5, 2007
One of the highlights for us every year is traveling to Anaheim, CA for the annual National Association of Music Merchandisers (NAMM) convention. This is the largest trade-only convention of its kind, with over 1,500 manufacturers of musical products showcasing their wares. We, the lucky buyers, get to peruse the football field-sized floors of exhibits to discover the newest & hottest products, and to meet face to face with the salespeople and manufacturers we deal with on a regular basis. Stay tuned for updates on the new products we'll be showcasing...but in the meantime, enjoy these pictures from the trip!
