The 2027 NAMM Show will host the first-ever TEC Tracks Live Sound Summit. Taking place on Wednesday Jan. 27, the half-day summit will see highly respected FOH engineers and crew discuss the opportunities and issues facing live sound engineers. This new educational opportunity adds to the long list of why The NAMM Show delivers the best start to the year for live sound professionals. 

“Rapidly evolving stage technologies are changing the creative possibilities of high-level touring,” said John Mlynczak, President and CEO of NAMM. “The TEC Tracks Live Sound Summit will be the place to discover the latest insights from the experience of road warriors and staging experts who are on the front line of this change. This is the kind of practical session that makes The NAMM Show vital for live sound professionals. With a focus on the production and operational side of globally touring projects, it will cover the technologies people are deploying now, what’s coming next and how sound, lighting, visuals, automation and production infrastructure increasingly need to work as one system.” 

The TEC Tracks Live Sound Summit is one of the many educational opportunities for pro audio professionals at The 2027 NAMM Show. The show will also offer three days of Dante training from Audinate, hands-on console training from a variety of major brands and live sound, and production presentations and panels from thought leaders in audio, touring and entertainment technology.

NAMM Show 2027 will host a new record of demo rooms, along with an array of stages and performance areas across the entire NAMM Show campus. 

The 2027 Parnelli Awards, also due to take place during the 2027 NAMM will honor excellence, achievement and commitment to the live event production industry, while the TEC Awards will recognise the best in new technology, and the She Rocks Awards will put the spotlight on trailblazing women from all areas of the industry.

“The 2027 NAMM Show is set to be the one of the biggest events of the year for live sound professionals,” concluded Mlynczak. “We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Anaheim, so we can start the year in style.”
