Leon Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) The details for the next hifi show have just arrived, organised by the same people as did the one last October in Melbourne. This one is in Sydney, at the Sheraton On The Park Hotel. Dates are 19th to 21st October, same format as last time with a Friday afternoon, then Saturday and Sunday. For exhibitors, room costs have risen a bit but the rooms are also bigger in some cases and more choice. Mainly on the 5th and 6th floors with some suites and trade spaces on level 1. Promises of much improved loading and unloading for exhibitors...

Saxon Hall Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Great news. I thoroughly enjoyed the Melbourne version and it is a good sign for the long term prospects of Hi Fi in this country.
Guest JohnA Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Have stayed there before. Maybe i should book my room there from now. Visit the show and do the round of some of the sydney SNA good folks.
firefly0071 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I missed the Melbourne one (financial issues) but I would definitely go to the Sydney one. Tryign to work out which item to upgrade....
rantan Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I also missed the Melbourne show, but there is no way I will be missing this one. Time to start saving for a nice room at the Sheraton for the week, so I can catch up with a lot of SNA people as well as other friends/family etc.

GST... ...and that's for how many days exactly, four? Geez you'd be hoping to generate some sales wouldn't you to cover costs at the very least. Is it quantifiable the value of an investment like that though via sales and getting the brand 'out there'? Or is it just hands on advertising so to speak and as such you don't worry too much about the cost , rather you hope for sales and lots of them.

Or is it just hands on advertising so to speak and as such you don't worry too much about the cost , rather you hope for sales and lots of them. Two and a half days really for the exhibition when it is open to the public. But it will cost a lot more than just that, insurance, shipping, extra stock, extra wages, accommodation, transport etc. There are several ways to look at it, if you can afford to advertise in magazines regulary, the cost is that of just a few full size adverts. The return would likely be better than the adverts. If you are a small, maybe one-man band, then it is a very serious commitment.
Luc Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 If you are a small, maybe one-man band, then it is a very serious commitment. Yup. Are glossy ads really that exxy...hmm, I see your point.
Drizt Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I'm glad the Sydney guys get to have their own show. I look forward to seeing the pictures and reading the discussions after the show next year.
Tony M Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I look forward to seeing the pictures and reading the discussions after the show next year. Lift your game, please Mr Drizt. Plenty of time to plan a trip to Sydney next year to see and hear it all first hand.B)
Drizt Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Lift your game, please Mr Drizt.Plenty of time to plan a trip to Sydney next year to see and hear it all first hand.B) Ill see what i can organise, no promises though. It would be good to meet some more of the nsw sna members
Juicester Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 It would be good to meet some more of the nsw sna members even if they are a little strange..... not sure I'll be able to make it - maybe I should start planning too...
rantan Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 One person's strange is another person's conventional. even if they are a little strange.....not sure I'll be able to make it - maybe I should start planning too...
Juicester Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 One person's strange is another person's conventional. spoken like a true South Australian..
Drizt Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 spoken like a true South Australian.. lol, that is gold
