Tix for AXPONA 2017 have been on sale since Dec. 1. I may go, but there didn't seem to be much interest last year. One disappointing thing I realized is that this show is more about the distributors and retailers, than it is the manufacturers--some were not represented at all, and others only had a faint presence. It's still enjoyable to get together there with like-minded friends, and I still saw enough new components that it should be worth the trip. I drive in, as it's only about 4½ hours from me.
