I am exhibiting at NY Audio Show in room 703. They just sent out invoices last week to those of us exhibiting. As people are paying now, I assume that is why they haven't published an exhibitor schedule yet.
It is NOT going to be in a tiny NY hotel but is going to be in a conference center with large hallways and very large rooms by audio show standards.
My understanding is the rules will be the same as for Capital Audiofest which is proof of vaccination or a negative test. The rules are driven by local ordinances. The balance of this debate around politics is pointless and moot. The rules are the rules so we either follow them or don't go.
I know plenty of people who are going, good for them. If you choose not to, good for you. Whatever makes you happiest. If you are going, hope to see you at the show.
