Default LA Audio Show

I've never been to it, but I see a decent amount of discussion and interest on other mediums (Twitter, Facebook, etc).

I'm wondering how it compares to RMAF? I might have to go to the LA show next year.

Anyone going to both?

nobody went? anyone ever go or have an opinion?

It's just a bit odd to me, I don't think I've heard much of anything about the show but I do see a lot of activity on social media about it.

Went to both.

LA was a typical first time show by an organizer (LAAS): not enough attendees, confusion, tough rooms, questionable logistics.

Should be better next year.

That said, even with the light attendance, our dealers fared well enough to want to return.

Thanks Bill! I guess that explains why I know nothing about it - it's new. I did see a pretty substantial amount of interest online which is why I was wondering what it was like. Perhaps I'll go next year.

In the meantime, I'm booked for RMAF, hope to see you there. I'm even bringing my son this time.

Much better choice, especially if you are bringing your son.

I went as well but to me, it wasn't as good as when they have in Costa Measa, OC. The lay out the Hilton Hotel is a little hard to see everything in one straight walk through the hall way and not as many manufacturer or vendor.

Did you know, the promotor died, unfortunately, then they moved the inaugural event from Irvine to the airport. Should be much better next year and it will.
