2020 was a year like no other. One of our primary business aspects is to produce live events in order to gather our members and other communities. But this year, we really had to pivot quickly and think of a way to gather our members safely but also effectively.
Andy Tompkins
Director of Marketing & Communications, NAMMThe biggest challenge for us was that activities at the NAMM Show don't easily transplate to a platform. We have a huge number of concerts, educational sessions and a really large number of exhibitors releasing new products during the show.
Dan Kessler
Director of Technology, NAMMThe Challenges
Content-focused
Complex schedule: different types of sessions including concerts and educational presentations.
More than a thousand brands
A very large group of exhibitors rely on the NAMM show to showcase their new products each year.
A seamless experience
A key requirement was that members connect online and feel inspired by the interactive experience.
Networking
Enabling networking between members and brands - before, during, and after the event. Even 100% online.
"Swapcard has it all, and all within one platform"
The right balance for all NAMM's objectives
Swapcard's platform could handle all the complex requirements requested by the organizer with ease.
Content-heavy
The platform seamlessly streamed over 1,000 sessions for a large audience.
Swapcard support
Adaptable, available experts ready to listen. Swapcard's support starts long before and ends long after the event.
A scalable platform
NAMM was able to customize the Swapcard platform for all their complex, specific needs and requirements without hassle.

Jessica Duarte
Professional Development Manager, NAMMOverall we had great engagement from registrants, some great content, and could even onboard a very global audience to the event. We're looking to the second half of the year for the next show using Swapcard.

The NAMM team faced many challenges due to the COVID-19 crisis, but remained hopeful and positive. This optimistic mindset paid off as they found in Swapcard a platform that offered their attendees a seamless experience and a solution to save their exhibitors' & sponsors' business.
After researching 20 different platforms, most of which favored one aspect of a virtual event over another, they found Swapcard was the best at balancing all of their objectives.
