NAMM Show Media Registration

NAMM offers journalists and editorial media access to the NAMM Media Center at the show, all exhibits, NAMM University Breakfast and Idea Center Sessions as well as some exhibitor-sponsored events with a media badge.

New in 2013: Onsite registration for editorial media attending NAMM has moved to the Platinum Ballroom in the Marriott Hotel: 700 West Convention Way, Anaheim, CA 92802. If you have pre-registered for your badge, you can go to any of the badge pickup locations to get your badge.

The Media Center within the show is still located in Hall E, but media will now need to pick up a badge before accessing the space for Media Preview Day and during the show.

Online media registration opens on October 18, 2012. Are you media? See NAMM’s definition of qualified media and e-mail namm@lippingroup.com with any questions or to request the link to media badge registration.

NAMM defines "Media" as follows:

Consumer and trade-focused media outlets including print, TV, radio and online influencers as well as 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). Freelance photographers without a specific editorial assignment will not be admitted to the show as media.

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.
