Musicians, pro light and sound professionals, songwriters and people who love making music can take advantage of all that NAMM has to offer during a one-day Music Industry Day, July 13, at Nashville’s new Music City Center.
Music Industry Day, which takes place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday during NAMM’s three-day music instrument and product trade event, invites those in the music and performance industry to soak in the sights and sounds of the iconic show and attend professional enrichment workshops.
Musicians can meet the artists and engineers designing the equipment of the future, network with other musicians and attend workshops designed to further careers in music or a passion for music making. The latest products and technology will debut at the event, offering a chance to demo in person the music equipment and instruments of the future.
