NAMM Hits the Road for Town Hall Meetings with the Industry in Five U.S. Cities

Carlsbad, Calif.

NAMM, the trade association of the international music products industry, announced today its plans for a five-state NAMM Town Hall Meeting Tour to engage industry retailers and professionals in constructive discussions about how NAMM can best serve its Members and the MI industry.

The meetings are based on the successful outcomes of the 2006 Town Hall Meeting held in Michigan, where NAMM Members were able to discuss important issues facing their businesses in person with NAMM representatives outside of the NAMM Show setting.

A group of NAMM staff will take to the road in the spring of 2007 and visit five regional U.S. locations including, Austin, Texas, on March 17; Flushing, N.Y., on May 2; Nashville, Tenn., May 15; Atlanta, Ga., May 16; and Orlando, Fla., May 17.
