The more some things change the more they stay the same for the NAMM Show, which this week celebrates its 125th anniversary as the world’s largest annual trade event for the creators, manufacturers, retailers and distributors of music instruments, equipment, technology, sound, lighting and recording gear.
It will take place Tuesday through next Saturday, June 20-24, at the 1.8-million-square-foot Anaheim Convention Center — which has hosted the annual January event since 1976 — and in adjacent hotel ballrooms.
