At least it was bigger than April. Seemed considerably bigger.In 2009 it was down from previous years, by a wide margin, but it came back bigger than ever. It was a little depressing to see the exhibit space scaled back so much this year compared to 2020, but I’m hopeful it will rebound once again.
In 2019, I couldn't get inside the Fender booth at all....I think I read a stat that Jan. 2020 pre Covid NAMM attendance was over 110,000 and this year it was 62,000. This is my first post-covid NAMM since and I could tell it wasn’t as crazy - but that was kinda good, I could actually get into a booth and talk to people and play gear much easier than in 2020.
Gets that way when there’s an artist demoingIn 2019, I couldn't get inside the Fender booth at all....
