NAMM Announces 2023, 2024 NAMM Show Dates
NAMM announced today that The 2023 NAMM Show is now scheduled for April 13–15, 2023. Following that, the show will return to its traditional dates in January 25–28, 2024. The timeline was based on the prioritization of the health and well-being of the industry, member feedback on creating a “bridge” back to January and through a review of data surrounding current and historical pandemic activity, as well as related economic and supply chain pressures.
“No one person, company, or industry segment was left unchanged by the pandemic, NAMM included,” said Joe Lamond, NAMM president and CEO. “In my opinion, the true end-zone was being able to find the opportunity that these challenges created. Although there was no perfect solution, the new dates —April 2023 and the return of the show as the first event of our musical year in January 2024 — will encourage every NAMM member to partner with their association to build the new and improved NAMM Show, ensuring that the platform remains an essential element of their company’s success and through our circle of benefits model—a catalyst of industry growth.”
The news comes as the industry prepares for its first large gathering in two and a half years at The 2022 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, this coming June 3–5. More than 3,500 brands will participate in the show, including Adam Hall, American Music & Sound, C.F. Martin & Co., Casio, Conn-Selmer, Ernie Ball, ESP, Gibson, Hal Leonard, KMC Music, Taylor Guitars and Yamaha, among others.
The show will also see the Anaheim debut of NAMM’s Top 100 Dealer Awards and the return of much-loved industry award events, including the Parnelli Awards, TEC Awards, and She Rocks Awards, as well as other event gatherings and networking opportunities including Saturday’s Grand Rally for Music Education, featuring composer and founder of the Virtual Choir Eric Whitacre for a memorable, hybrid choral experience and performance by Gateways Brass Collective.
