NAMM Show+ App Guide for Exhibitors
The NAMM Show+ App Exhibitor Center, powered by Swapcard, is the place to create and maintain your company's Brand Page (formerly Directory Listing) and where you can manage your listings, meetings, and leads.
Access is available via desktop or mobile 24/7, and you can review and edit your information and content at any time before, during, and after The NAMM Show.
- Why do I need NAMM Show+?
-
Simply put, NAMM Show+ for exhibitors is all about visibility and lead generation. All exhibitors start with a complimentary basic level brand page to give them a presence on the app.
With the app, at any brand page level, you have access to attendee profiles and can easily filter the list to find exactly whom you'd like to meet at the show. Filter by buying power, badge type, product interest and country.
Attendees will also search for exhibitors (you) and visit brand pages before, during and after the show to make their plans and make their way to your booth. They can message you directly and/or request a time to meet (see manage meeting availability for details).
Use NAMM Show+ to put your best booth forward! Take a look at upgrading your page to add logos, images, products, and other options to make you stand out.
