Then The 2018 NAMM Show has it all!" | | | Dear Colleague, Pro audio will be a big focus at The 2018 NAMM Show this year, and IT-based networks for audio distribution and control will be part of it. But from my perspective, maybe the bigger networking opportunity is the human network. Whether you are an entry-level aspiring technician or a veteran career professional, networking with people is more important than ever. The NAMM Show has engaged with a large number of pro audio manufacturers that will be exhibiting to showcase new products, meet people, receive application training and share ideas. At the same time, more pro-audio and production folks will be attending than ever before! One reason for this increased interest is the inaugural AES@NAMM Pro Sound Symposium: Live & Studio event taking place January 25-28, as part of the NAMM Education Center in the Hilton Anaheim Hotel. The inaugural AES@NAMM is an ideal way to merge in-person networking with hands-on training and expert tutorials on relevant topics that are affecting our industry today. That spells many opportunities for both future work and career development. If you are not yet registered, you have a limited time to receive a discounted badge to The NAMM Show, using the promo code AES@NAMM. You do not need to be a NAMM member to attend the show and significant discounts are available for AES members. If you are not an AES member and would like to join, I personally encourage you to get the best price on your AES@NAMM Access Pass for a great value in unique, expert-delivered pro audio training, by joining now, before signing up for your NAMM Show badge: http://www.aes.org/join/ So which is more important at The NAMM Show? Learning more about IT audio networks or developing your personal career network while adding technical skills, engaging with peers, building your knowledge base and gaining insights into the latest pro audio developments from leading industry experts? Only you can be the judge! Either way, I hope you don't miss out! Sincerely, | | Michael MacDonald, President, ATK Audiotek Executive Chair, AES@NAMM Pro Sound Symposium: Live & Studio | | | | | | |
