I attended CAS 8 last year and wrote about it online:https://www.dagogo.com/2018-cas-report-david-blumenstein/ and I liked very much that it was intimate so I could maintain direct discussions with manufacturers and designers of gear, and in the process listen to some really great music. It was fun that Cookie Marenco of Blue Coast Records:
