Joe Lamond & Guests

We've all read about the changes in the U.S. and world economy, and there’s no escaping talk of the challenges that exist. Even so, there's persistent discussion about new ways to look at business.  When it comes to the music products industry, there are individuals and leaders who can shed light on how we can plan for the future. Join the dialogue on day one of Summer NAMM as NAMM President/CEO Joe Lamond talks about where we are currently, asks special guests to share their ideas and perspectives for coming out ahead, and explores ways to plan successfully for the third- and fourth-quarter business—and for the future of our industry.
