Save Money and Time by Picking Up Your Badges at Will Call Improvements in technology and enhancements in NAMM’s Will Call system have resulted in this being a great option for everyone to have their NAMM badge waiting for them at the NAMM Show. There are a number of reasons to use Will Call over mailing badges: • We get GREEN by not wasting paper. • Save money and time by avoiding on-site badge fees and registration lines. • Experience the flexibility of having 24-hour access to update, add or change a NAMM badge electronically by logging on to the NAMM web site. • Each attendee will receive an individual badge confirmation via email. For Will Call hours and additional badge info visit www.namm.org/thenammshow/2010/badges To further speed up the on-site Will Call process, each badge that is registered will require an email address. A personalized barcoded badge confirmation will be sent to the email address. When the attendee arrives at Will Call they will scan the bar-code on the badge confirmation and the badge will print almost instantly. If you have any further questions about taking advantage of Will Call, phone us at (760) 438-8001 or email [email protected] EXHIBITOR BADGE REGISTRATION WORKSHEET FREE Badge Deadline: December 4, 2009 January 14-17, 2010 – Anaheim, CA ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER Company Name: _________________________________________________ Register Online at: Contact Name: ___________________________________________________ Address: _______________________________________________________ www.namm.org City, State, Zip, Country: ___________________________________________ or fax completed form to: 760-438-3483 Phone #: _______________________Fax: ____________________________ See reverse side for additional Registration Contact e-mail: ________________________________________ registration information.

A limited number of rooms are available at these preferred rates. Hotels nearest the Anaheim Convention Center and those with lower rates sell out very early; historically, many are sold out on the same day as housing open.

Log on to the Anaheim Housing Bureau/Passkey Site directly with the special NAMM Web address and Member number, provided to you by NAMM.

You will need your Member number to obtain a hotel room. FAX/MAIL: Complete the NAMM Hotel Reservation Form and submit via fax or mail to the Anaheim Housing Bureau. NAMM does not process hotel reservations. Please do not mail or fax forms to the NAMM office because this will delay your request. These forms will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Forms received prior to housing opening will not be processed. Faxed or mailed housing requests will take longer to process and choice hotels may not be available. Room reservations require a credit card guarantee as a deposit.
