The Anaheim Convention Center will continue to be the venue for the National Association of Music Merchants annual trade show.
The musical instruments and products organization recently signed a five-year contract to keep the event at the convention center through 2018.
NAMM attracts about 95,000 makers of musical instruments and related products, along with retailers, each year, helping to generate about $70 million for Anaheim and other Orange County businesses.
It’s the convention center’s largest show and is typically viewed as the start of the trade show season.
NAMM’s 2014 show, which will be its 37th year in Anaheim, is set to run Jan. 23-26.
