IMSTA AT WINTER NAMM - 08: "Software Day" at NAMM was a success
Saturday January 19th 2008 was the day that many IMSTA members and supporters wore the IMSTA T-shirts and helped spread our message ‘buy the software you use.’ We are happy to say that we had more participants on this Software Day than we have had on any of the previous Software Days. Some companies chose to go all blue and some chose to do a combination of their own uniforms and the IMSTA blue T-shirts. Either way, we thank all the participants, including all the attendees who wore the IMSTA T-shirts, walked around NAMM, and helped spread the word all over. Let us also thank those who could not wear the IMSTA blue T-shirts due to company policy, but were with us in spirit. View Photos Here ...

IMSTAR OF THE MONTH : Music Marketing
An IMSTAR is a company or individual who helps IMSTA voluntarily. Often, IMSTARs do not have a direct interest in the music software industry. However, a member who goes beyond basic membership duties may also receive a star and become an IMSTAR. The IMSTAR of the month of March is Musikmesse. This is the third time that Messe has provided IMSTA with a complementary booth to help spread the word in Europe. Thank you Musikmesse.
