    Assuming it's safe, I plan to be there.

    I think registration just opened for exhibitors, so the list should grow.

    cancelled for 2021

    Very cool, this could be my first audio show. Exhibitors list seems very ORFAS-leaning so far, with some exceptions. Still, novel enough for me to check out.

    Also, a heads up for those who haven't been to Seattle - this venue is actually in Sea-Tac, which is 20-30min south of Seattle proper (without traffic). This means it'll be a bit more of a pain to explore the city if you're staying at the festival hotel.

    This will be my first audio show as well (assuming COVID safety by then, I will have a newborn at that time). Would love to finally meet some SBAF folks in person!

    True, but there is a light rail that goes pretty much across the street (at the airport) from the hotel to downtown. My wife and I use that when we visit Seattle, and it works well. Takes about 40 minutes each way.

    As for vendors, pretty much only the high end brands exhibit at shows. There will be a small headphone area at the AudioFest, but given how close it will be to the vaccine being available to the general public, I'm not sure I would want to be in that area. Hard to say. Mostly you go to these shows to listen to equipment you could never afford, and to meet people you can geek out with.

    Nice! Seattle is 3-4 hours away from me by car. I used to live in the Seattle area (Bellevue) and it's fun to visit the old stomping grounds.

    I'm not sure if I'll do it this year due to covid. But if it's going to be a regular audio show in 2022 I'll be there for sure.
