There are several larger rooms available for manufacturers who need more space. Now that CES is over, some folks are getting around to serious consideration for this event.

2012 website up

Big Red Machine · « **Reply #66 on:** 26 Jan 2012, 02:15 pm »

We still need more manufacturers to participate. A few big names on the bubble, but more is better!!

Big Red Machine · « **Reply #67 on:** 27 Jan 2012, 03:37 pm »

Some updates on manufacturers planning to represent:

McIntosh

Marantz, Boston Acoustics, & Denon

Tyler Acoustics

Audio Note

Working on the possibility for Naim, Grado, and Osage

No promises, but we are trying to get the large Maggies into the show through a dealer. Cross your fingers.

We know the website is not fully up and going but our efforts are on booking folks right now.

Tried Ralph at Atma-Sphere? Hearing his amps at the last AKFest was a revelation.

MaxCast · « **Reply #69 on:** 27 Jan 2012, 04:14 pm »

Yes, that atmosphere room always sounds good.
And, I would love to hear some big maggies!!

Sleeping rooms are going quickly and all will soon be taken. If you are planning to attend and stay at the Sheraton, book now.

Just a bump for the AK Fest. There's still room available for additional exhibitors. Grab your spot now!

If you cannot get a room at the Sheraton there's a Hampton Inn nearby.
