Ditto what Gary and Anthony have said. I've attended several times over
the past 8 years or so and have always found it very useful for all the
reasons mentioned. Cecilia, if it would be helpful to share the
justification I've used with my administration, just let me know.
Cheers,

Hi Cecilia
As an avid (albeit somewhat irregular) NMM-goes, I would heartily
recommend it for a number of reasons. It's an excellent way to find out
about (and preview) new and interesting content. Great way to meet
distributors and make contacts. Wonderful means of hobnobbing with a
merry band of video librarian folk. Interesting presentations. And,
well, it's just plain fun.
Hope you go for it.

Anyone go to last year's National Media Market in October in Las Vegas?
I'm trying to find out whether it's something I should petition to go to
or not.
Thanks,

libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve
as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of
communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video
producers and distributors.
