About the Event

A New Event
for a New Era
of Business

More than 200 music industry leaders gathered in the heart of Music City for the inaugural NAMM NeXT — a groundbreaking two-day summit designed to supply the music industry with the insights, strategies, and analysis needed to drive the future of business.

NAMM NeXT brought together an even mix of manufacturers and dealers from 100+ global companies for two days of immersive keynotes, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops — all led by world-class business experts from inside and outside the music industry. No exhibit booths. No trade show floor. Just focused, forward-thinking conversation about what comes next for the music products industry.

What We Learned:

"We knew that we needed a new event, in addition to The NAMM Show, to unite the leaders of our NAMM member companies around the common goal of strengthening the music products industry. The overwhelming positive energy and abundance of ideas demonstrated that our industry as a community is more than just belonging to something; it's about doing something together that creates more music makers worldwide."

John Mlynczak, President & CEO of NAMM
