I was wondering if there was a convention like NAMM and the AES for muscians? I don't mean the Pros with the millon dollar record deals, and massive tours. I am refering to the semi-pro and consumer muscians. I would love to be able to attend a NAM Show or a AES show, but you have to bee either a Music Merchant or a Manufacture of musical instrumnets, or an Audio Engineer, to attend these shows. Which unfortuneatly I am neither so I can not attend. Found this out from the NAMM web site.

I thought it would be a cool idea to allow muscians and synth players (in my case) to attend something like a NAMM show to see the latest music gear.
