Michael, last year SPARS was able to offer SPARS Sessions@the HOT Zone attendees the opportunity to request a NAMM Badge. This year we do not have that opportunity. NAMM has changed their policy for Hot Zone Attendees. However, SPARS will be presenting two HOT Zone Sessions. You can get more information and registration information here:

As in 2009, the SPARS Sessions @ the HOT Zone seminars are free and open to the public. We hope to see you there.
Best wishes from all of us at SPARS…
