We all know that the NAMM show in Anaheim delivers hundreds upon hundreds—if not thousands—of brand new products each January, drawing attendees from around the globe to southern California for a chance to take a peek at what will ring retailers’ registers in the months to follow. Well, Summer NAMM might be only a fraction of the size, but the exhibitors who make their way to Nashville have all the ingenuity and innovativeness of the Anaheim regulars, and we’re going to prove it to you here! For the second year in a row, we present Summer NAMM New Product Spotlight, in which we showcase the “headline news” of a sampling of companies exhibiting at the show. In most cases, that means a brand new product; in other cases, it might be something a bit different. In any event, though, these 34 companies should be on your radar screen…and particularly if you’re at the show!
