USA - The 2025 NAMM Show will take place at the Anaheim Convention Centre this week as planned, with events beginning on Tuesday, 21 January running through to 25 January.
As previously reported, there had been fears the wildfires in Northern Los Angeles might cause a postponement.
“We have been in constant contact with our partners and city officials all week, and Anaheim is still unaffected by the wildfires in northern Los Angeles,” said John Mlynczak, president and CEO of NAMM, at the weekend.
“We have confirmed that the air quality is safe, that traffic between LAX and Anaheim will not impact relief efforts, and that our hotel rooms will not displace any evacuees. We want to be sure that we can gather for a safe, successful NAMM Show while also supporting the ongoing relief efforts.”
Mlynczak continued: “The 2025 NAMM Show will unite our global industry in support of those impacted in Los Angeles. We are coordinating relief efforts with our partners and are communicating with our members in LA on their needs. The NAMM Foundation has committed $50,000 to our LA Wildfires Relief Fund, and we are overwhelmed by the generosity of the many additional contributions. This fund will provide needs-based assistance to NAMM members, employees of NAMM member companies, music education programmes and music makers impacted by the fires.
“The NAMM Show will provide two dedicated LA Wildfire Relief Centres for attendees to learn more about how they can support the coordinated efforts of our members and partners.
“NAMM is first and foremost an association that cares deeply for our members and the global music products industry. Thank you for your support of our industry and for our impacted community members.”
