Send Badge Invitations Early for a Smooth Registration

If you are the Registration Admin, make sure your team and guests receive their badge invitations early to ensure a seamless registration experience.

1. Log in to your NAMM Dashboard and select “Manage Employees” to add your company employees. This ensures your employees are properly connected to your company. 

2. Under “Registration” in the left menu, send badge invitations to your employees and guests. Each person must complete their own registration.

Volume-Friendly Tips to Manage Your Setup & Demo Plan     

• Place demo areas in the back of your booth, away from the aisles.   
• Limit product demos to 3 minutes or less.   
• Use headphones to facilitate demos.   
• Point speakers and amplifiers inside your exhibit space.
• Place signs in your booth reminding attendees of maximum demo lengths and decibel levels.   
• Provide drum thrones when actively demonstrating. Stow thrones to limit unsupervised playing.    
• Use brushes or nylon rods instead of drumsticks when possible.   
• Install drum shields around your kits or create personalized experiences with an isolation booth.
