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.
