NAMM Show 2025 Will Put Spotlight on Pro Audio

Carlsbad, CA (November 20, 2024)—The 2025 NAMM Show, held January 21–25 in Anaheim, CA, has reportedly maximized the show’s exhibit and demo space for professional live sound, recording and music technology and will also feature educational sessions and training opportunities for audio professionals.

Tens of thousands of global professionals will pour into the Anaheim Convention Center exhibit halls, ready to do business with pro audio brands. Hearing and experiencing new products and technologies is a vital part of The NAMM Show, and all available floor space in ACC North—the home of pro audio—has been dedicated to this experience.

“One of the main reasons that audio professionals come to The NAMM Show is to hear the latest equipment from the biggest pro audio brands,” said John Mlynczak, NAMM president and CEO. “We are making that easier than ever before with more demo space for our exhibitors and more opportunities for our members to hear what state-of-the-art truly sounds like.”
