Anaheim, CA (November 3, 2026)—Live sound has long been a key part of the NAMM Show, which takes place once again at the Anaheim Convention Center from Jan. 26-30. Every year, the pro audio halls are filled with live sound products, manufacturers use the show for training events, and multiple stages present artists performing through cutting-edge P.A. systems. Now there will be a new addition to the mix: The TEC Tracks Live Sound Summit.
Taking place on Wednesday, January 27, the half-day educational summit will feature FOH engineers and crews discussing different aspects of the profession, from gear to getting along on the road.

“Rapidly evolving stage technologies are changing the creative possibilities of high-level touring,” said John Mlynczak, president and CEO of NAMM. “The TEC Tracks Live Sound Summit will be the place to discover the latest insights from the experience of road warriors and staging experts who are on the front line of this change.
“This is the kind of practical session that makes The NAMM Show vital for live sound professionals. With a focus on the production and operational side of globally touring projects, it will cover the technologies people are deploying now, what’s coming next and how sound, lighting, visuals, automation and production infrastructure increasingly need to work as one system.”
Beyond the TEC Tracks Live Sound Summit, the 2027 NAMM Show will also offer three days of Dante training from Audinate, hands-on console training from a variety of major brands, and a variety of presentations and panels from thought leaders in audio, touring and entertainment technology.
ACC North level 2 will largely be focused on live sound, with more demo rooms than ever before. Exhibitors lined up for the show include DiGiCo, L-Acoustics, Adamson, RCF, QSC, Solid State Logic, Coda Audio, Meyer Sound, EAW, Lawo, HK Audio, FBT, Allen & Heath, Ashly, Outline and Electro-Voice.
