I know someone from another major music instrument manufacturer and he was telling me that all of the upper management from his company attends NAMM. The company he works for is also on the second floor where Akai had their room. He said all of those rooms have private rooms attached so that the owner/upper management can meet privately to discuss deals.
He was telling me for his company to go they spend major dollars because they know at NAMM they will be making big bucks.
For whatever reason Akai chose to do it this way it would have been neat just to have a little place to show off their stuff to anyone interested.
At least I got to see the Teenage Engineering booth which was super small.

The Roland Boutique line has got my interest big time -- one of those, an MPC Live, and you could be doing some damage. Add a few more Korgs, etc, things could get interesting. Lots of wires to deal with, but......
