Media Registration

Media badges give you access to the NAMM Press Room at the show, all exhibits, NAMM University Breakfast Sessions and Idea Center Sessions as well as some exhibitor-sponsored events.  There are two ways to register for media badges - online and on-site.

1. Online Media Registration for 2009 Summer NAMM

Online Media Registration is NOW OPEN and will run through July 10.

2. On-site Media Registration for 2009 Summer NAMM

Media who have not pre-registered for media badges may register at show site by visiting the NAMM Media Registration Counter located inside the lobby of the Nashville Convention Center. Media registering on show site shall be required to have a photo ID, a valid media business card and a letter of assignment from the editor outlining how the show will be covered. If you cannot provide the required items, you will not be admitted to the show or have access to the Press Room at its new location on Level 2. Please bring these items to the Media Registration counter inside the convention center lobby during onsite media registration hours.

NAMM defines "media" as follows:

Any writer, photographer, editor or producer with a specific editorial assignment to cover the show for a media outlet that is related to the music products industry. (This includes all media outlets that regularly cover musical instruments, products and NAMM Member companies.) Note: Consumer media outlets (national print, TV, radio) will be admitted on a case-by-case basis.

NOTE: All advertising sales representatives, publishers and marketing staff employed by media outlets will not be admitted to the show as media. Depending on the type of business, these individuals can apply for NAMM Membership.
