“My overall experience at NAMM was amazing," says 2014 Generation Next attendee Michael Mullens from University of Massachusetts, "It is like nothing else in the industry, and I am going to cherish the knowledge learned for years to come. It gave me ideas for my future and has definitely changed the way I work with technology and how it is integrated into music. I hope to be at many more NAMM Shows in the future.”
