Summer NAMM and PLASA Focus Partner to Offer Two Business Events for One Badge in Nashville

June 25, 2012

Visitors to Nashville this July 12-14, will have access to two simultaneous business events on July 12. Summer NAMM and PLASA Focus: Nashville have arranged for attendees to easily gain access to both events with just one badge, and at no extra cost.

PLASA Focus: Nashville 2012 is one in a series of regional events that cater to those who supply and use technologies and services to the event, entertainment and installation industries. The Nashville edition was purposefully planned to take place leading up to, and during one day of Nashville’s premier music products show, Summer NAMM. The cooperation between the two shows will bring professional lighting and live sound exhibits to Nashville, alongside NAMM’s hugely successful trade show

Summer NAMM brings together more than 400 musical instruments and products with buyers from around the world in a vibrant trade show environment. The show is not only an opportunity to see the latest innovations and hottest gear in music, but also live entertainment, instrument demos, workshops for musicians and chances for hands-on music making.
