ETA: NAMM Highlights

[Issue 104] January 18, 2017

The doors to NAMM open tomorrow and we are sure there will be interesting solutions for visitors to check out. Three weeks from NAMM, will be the world’s largest AV exhibition, Integrated Systems Europe in Amsterdam and barely two weeks from that will be the Prolight + Sound Guangzhou and GET Show running almost back to back. It is indeed going to be a busy time for many and we hope to write about some real gems in terms of solutions in the coming issues.

If you stumble upon solutions in the exhibitions that you think are ground-breaking, send us an email at eta@spinworkz.com and we will publish it with acknowledgement :)
