Membership

As your trade association, NAMM is dedicated to helping make this vision a reality. Of course, our members’ success is also front-and-center in everything we do––from hosting world-class trade shows and offering free professional development training to providing access to deeply discounted business services and fighting for music education on Capitol Hill. Best of all, as a NAMM member you’re never on your own. Instead, you’re able to connect with people who share similar goals and challenges, and who believe in music, just like you do.

If you’re not already a NAMM member, we invite you to join the association today to take advantage of all of the benefits that NAMM has to offer. If you’d like to renew your membership, please log in and click the Renew Membership link on the left.
