Frequently Asked Questions - NAMM Trade Shows


General Information

The use of cameras and video cameras are permitted only after obtaining the Exhibitor’s permission to photo/film their product or booth.

First Aid stations are located in the Main Lobby in front of Hall B, and there are several throughout the facility.

You can find them in Lobby D, adjacent to the Friends of NAMM Booth (#2004), in the Idea Center, in the Level 2 North Lobby nearest to Room 202, downstairs in Hall E and in the Arena.
Yes, there is disabled parking available. All that is required is your disabled placard or license plate upon entering any of the Anaheim Convention Center parking lots.
No. For safety reasons, this is not an option.
Event staff, including professional security and police, will be present in and around the Anaheim Convention Center for the entire duration of the show.
Wheelchairs may be rented through Scootaround Rentals and Universal Mobility.
NAMM does not offer day passes. You must be a current NAMM Member to register for badges.
Kids under the age of 18 are not permitted to attend the NAMM Show.
Sounds a little shady. I would say no. The NAMM Show checks photo IDs before you can get in the show.

Minors must pick up their badges at the main registration area, located on level two of the Anaheim Convention Center. For more information, please refer to the minor policy listed on the Web site.

You will automatically receive an e-mail confirmation once you complete your registration, and a second reminder confirmation containing your bar code and show information will be sent two weeks prior to the show.

One week before the show, a final reminder confirmation will be sent which contains your bar code and show information.

You can also contact NAMM at any time to request that an additional confirmation be sent to your e-mail address.

  • First login to the NAMM Web site
  • Click on the Online Registration tab
  • Locate the name of the person whose name you wish to correct
  • Click on the pencil icon and type in the correct spelling

In order to delete a previously requested badge, you must be the main contact or the owner.

  • First login to the NAMM Web site
  • Click on the Online Registration tab
  • Locate the name of the person whose badge you wish to delete
  • Click on the scissors located to the left of the name
  • The name is now deleted.

 

All badge registration requests received after the December 4th deadline may incur a $25 fee, and all badges can be picked up onsite at any of the following Will Call locations:

  • Platinum Ballroom in Marriott
  • Main lobby of the Hilton across from Starbucks
  • Hall E, Hall A and Arena lobbies of the Anaheim Convention Center.

 

No. The purpose of Will Call is to expedite and simplify the badge pick-up process.
At this time, you can still request that your badges be printed and mailed to you. However, once your badge has been printed and mailed, it cannot be reprinted at Will Call. Yellow and overseas badges will have their badges available for Will Call pickup only.
To have your badges printed, please proceed to one of the Will Call areas, located in Hall E, Hall A and in the Arena, and present your photo identification.
If you bring your badge confirmation and valid matching photo ID, the process should take just a few seconds.
This is not recommended, as each attendee needs their own confirmation bar code in order to pick up their badge onsite or make changes to his or her record online before the badge mailing(s).
We ask that you provide an e-mail address so we can send you a personalized bar-coded badge confirmation. This bar code will be scanned on site at Will Call, enabling us to print your badges almost instantly.

The cost of parking is $12.

Attendance at NAMM trade shows is restricted to companies that make, buy and/or sell musical instruments and products. If your company meets this requirement, visit our Membership page to start the process of becoming a Member of NAMM.

It’s important you book a room at an available hotel and then fax or e-mail a copy of your acknowledgement number and details of your first choice to the housing bureau (see contact info below), noting your request to be waitlisted at the hotel of your choice. If rooms become available, the bureau will go through the waiting list in priority order and inform you when the change has been made.
