ANAHEIM, California -- January 20, 2007: The CPS DJ controller market has been smoldering for the last five years as items like the Peavey DAI went up in steam due to limited production, several manufacturers continued stealing the majority of the business, and the buzz. However, this year at the 2007 Winter NAMM, the International Music Products Association Tradeshow more than a few eyebrows were raised by several industry watchers who feel this segment has come to a full boil.
Educational Director has called this year's NAMM show "The Year Of The CPS DJ Controller" - Check out many of the new DJ products below!

CPS Certification Gives an Edge
In a white paper titled Certification: Networking With the Best, George R. Conrade, wrote, "Certification is an excellent way to gain a competitive edge and give proof of your abilities, knowledge, and level of skill. To be certified in any profession, whether it's as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or as a CPS Certified Disc Jockey (CPSDJ), means you have joined a network of individuals who meet consistent, knowledge-based standards of ability, position, experience-even ethics. When you pursue certification, you're testing yourself against these standards of proficiency." Click here for details.
