NAMM 2023 Show - Bringing the Future into Focus

As the full impact of the global pandemic comes into clearer focus, the NAMM Board of Directors, our members and our staff have charted the path for The 2023 and 2024 NAMM Shows.

With the 2021 show canceled and the 2022 show moved to this June, The 2023 NAMM Show is now scheduled for April 13–15, 2023. Following that, the show will return to its traditional dates in January 25–28, 2024. The timeline was based on the prioritization of the health and well-being of the industry, member feedback on creating a “bridge” back to January and through a review of data surrounding current and historical pandemic activity, as well as related economic and supply chain pressures.
