It is held every January in Anaheim, California, US at the
Anaheim Convention Center, and is one of the two largest music product trade shows in the world. Its
European counterpart is the Musikmesse in Frankfurt. The event attracts numerous famous musicians,
many of whom are endorsed by exhibitors and come to promote their own signature models and
equipment.

NAMM is a trade-only business show catering to domestic and international dealers and distributors. The
product exhibits are an integral part of the show, allowing the dealers and distributors to see what's new,
negotiate deals and plan their purchasing for the next 6 to 12 months. Exhibitors are allotted a specific
number of badges based on the size of their booth. Retail Members are allowed a certain number of
badges based on their full-time employees.

Founded in 1901, "NAMM" stands for the National Association of Music Merchants, although, since
its inception, NAMM has evolved from a national retail association into an international association
whose members now include commercial companies, distributors, affiliates and manufacturers.

Summer NAMM
The association's other show,[3] Summer NAMM, takes place in the Summer in Nashville, Tennessee, at
the newly constructed Music City Center. Summer NAMM is approximately one quarter the size of the
NAMM Show in January and focuses more on industry meetings and professional development rather
than products.

She Rocks Awards at the NAMM Show

She Rocks Awards was created by the Women's International Music Network to pay tribute to women
working the music industry. It was founded in 2012 by Laura B. Whitmore.[4] The awards are a gala
celebration and are held during the NAMM Show. It is currently held at the House of Blues, Anaheim
with attendance nearing 800 and selling out many years.[5][6] Honorees include major musicians to
behind-the-scenes professionals.[7] The Awards are known for celebrating women's achievements
throughout the music industry.[8]
