Inaugural TEC Tracks Live Sound Summit Comes to The 2027 NAMM Show
Educational summit expands show opportunities for live sound professionals
Carlsbad, CA — November 2, 2026 — The 2027 NAMM Show will host the first-ever TEC Tracks Live Sound Summit. Taking place on Wednesday Jan.
27, the half-day summit will see highly respected FOH engineers and crew discuss the opportunities and issues facing live sound engineers. This new educational opportunity adds to the long list of why The NAMM Show delivers the best start to the year for live sound professionals.
“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.”
The TEC Tracks Live Sound Summit is just one of the many educational opportunities for pro audio professionals at The 2027 NAMM Show. The show will also offer three days of Dante training from Audinate, hands-on console training from a variety of major brands and live sound, and production presentations and panels from thought leaders in audio, touring and entertainment technology.
Beyond the educational offering, there will be plenty of reasons for live sound professionals to head to the Anaheim Convention Center from Jan.
26-30. Once again, ACC North level 2 will be the global home of pro audio with more brands on display than ever before, including 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.
In the more production-focused ACC North Level 1, attendees will also find exhibits and listening spaces from the likes of Shure, Genelec, Avid, DPA
Microphones, Blackmagic Design, Audix, Sony, AMS Neve, Fender Studio,
Avalon and Sennheiser.
In addition to getting hands on with new equipment, one of the biggest reasons to visit The NAMM Show is to hear the sound systems in action to get an understanding of how they could benefit your next gig. For 2027,
NAMM Show attendees will experience a new record of demo rooms, along with an array of stages and performance areas across the entire NAMM Show campus.
Of course, no NAMM Show would be complete without an unforgettable festival of awards ceremonies, star-studded performances and pool parties. Hosted by
Henry Rollins, the 2027 Parnelli Awards will honor excellence, achievement and commitment to the live event production industry on Friday, Jan. 29, while the TEC Awards will recognize the best in new technology on Thursday,
Jan. 28, and the She Rocks Awards will put the spotlight on trailblazing women from all areas of the industry on Saturday, Jan. 30.
Last but never least, all pro audio professionals are invited to attend the
Audio Engineering Society (AES) Reception on Thursday, Jan. 28 at 5 p.m., then grab a wristband and join the rest of the industry poolside at the
Anaheim Marriott for the 2027 Pro Audio Pool Party, starting at 7 p.m.
“The 2027 NAMM Show is set to be the one of the biggest events of the year for live sound professionals,” concluded Mlynczak. “We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Anaheim, so we can start the year in style.”
