NAMM, the trade association of the international music products industry, has announced final registration and exhibitor numbers for the 2007 NAMM show. At show close, NAMM reported a four percent increase in overall registration for a grand total of 84,695 registrants.

The association previously announced breaking the all-time record of exhibitors with 1,535 companies displaying products at this year's NAMM show. International attendance showed an eight percent increase for a total of 9,889 registrants from more than 100 countries.

During the four-day event, buyers and sellers of musical instruments and products held meetings, wrote orders and shared opinions about the year ahead. In addition to the great business opportunities, as many regular show attendees know, there were also plenty of "only at a NAMM show" moments to meet and interact with some of the greatest artists in the world who regularly attend.

"We were gratified to see the industry come together during these challenging times to work together in order to seize the many opportunities ahead of us in the coming year," said Joe Lamond, president and CEO, NAMM. "NAMM is pleased to serve its members by producing the NAMM show which fuels our 'circle of benefits,' where show revenues are reinvested back into the industry through market-building programs, partnerships and initiatives that drive more interest in making music."
