The NAMM Show | Frequently Asked Questions

Attendance at NAMM trade shows is restricted to owners, suppliers, employees, endorsed artists and visitors of NAMM Member companies. NAMM's Membership is comprised of companies that make, buy and/or sell musical instruments and products. If your company meets this requirement, we invite you to visit our Membership page to start the process of becoming a Member of NAMM.

Once your company has been approved for Membership, you may create an account on www.namm.org and use the NAMM Show section to register for housing, booth space and badges, as well as read about scheduled NAMM Show events.

Please follow the steps outlined below to successfully upload a media kit to NAMM's Virtual Media Room. This process will be available beginning October 12, 2012, for 2013 NAMM Show assigned exhibitors.

1. Designated contact: You must be a designated exhibitor contact in order upload a media kit for the company you are affiliated with. Each company registers their designated contacts through a NAMM employee when they join NAMM. NAMM employees enter the contact name and information into our database, which will allow access for the next steps in this process. Note: If you aren't the designated contact and aren't approved as a company employee with those rights, you won't be able to view the tab to upload your media kit even if you follow the next steps to create an account on NAMM.org.
2. NAMM.org account: If you already have an account created on NAMM.org, move on to next step. If you don’t have one, follow these steps to create one. Go to NAMM.org and click the Create Account button in the top right hand bar. You will need to create a username and enter your email address, company name, company NAMM member number and your first and last name. Then select the box at the bottom right to “Create new account.”
3. Exhibitor Tools: Go to NAMM.org homepage and sign in using the established login. Navigate to the “Promote Your Booth” section from the NAMM Show tab or click this link: http://www.namm.org/thenammshow/2013/exhibitors/tools From that page, click on the “My Media Kit” link in the upper left column.
4. Upload Media Kit: After you click on the link to upload the media kit, follow the prompts to select the file on your computer and hit submit to upload to NAMM.org. Note: Only one media kit per exhibiting company may be uploaded. Your media kit must be saved as a pdf, and the maximum file size is 128MB. To check the size of your file, in Windows, right click and select properties to display the file size. On a Mac, press the command key and the letter I to display file size. Your file is now uploaded and will be available for others to view and download from the Virtual Media Room.

Exhibitor badge registration officially opens on October 12. At that time your company status will change from non-exhibitor or distributor status to exhibitor status. If you try and register before October 12, your exhibitor status may not be updated and will not allow the exhibitor badge option.

Please Note: There are no refunds granted.

Each registrant is required to provide a unique (or individual) e-mail address to receive all communications concerning your registration.

Visit www.namm.org/thenammshow/2013 and login as a Member to begin the badge registration process. You will then need to enter the requested information and an e-mail address to receive your confirmation. Remember, you must be an active Member of NAMM or from an approved media outlet to attend a NAMM trade show.

Please Note: There are no refunds granted.

We invite your company to take full advantage of the opportunity to join us for our annual industry event. The official Invitation to Exhibit is available online.

Remember, it's best to respond early to claim last year's space or increase your chance of getting the best available space.

Exhibiting at NAMM trade shows is restricted to Active NAMM Member companies. NAMM's Membership is comprised of companies that make, buy and/or sell musical instruments and products.
