No Chicago this year? I’m going to have to make it to one of these some day. I’d love it if y’all ever had one in FL. Miami is nice during the fall and winter months.

Headphone auditions are the main reason for Canjams, and so I don't see the point for one in Singapore at all.

Auditioning gear is certainly one of the reasons to attend, but it's not the only reason and, in my opinion, may not even be the primary reason for CanJam veterans. I travel to CanJams to see long time friends, visit the local sights and attractions, experience incredible food (seriously, the food in Singapore is spectacular), and meet the people behind the products that I use daily. Some brands attend CanJams even when there's no local distributor, which is wonderful because it gives us a chance to try the gear rather than buying blind.

I didn't make it to Singapore this year but I took a vacation for CanJam London with my partner and what a trip it was. I'm thinking about attending another one of the international shows next year, schedule permitting. But hey, if Singapore isn't your Jam we'll still have three US shows in 2024, so you won't have to travel far.

What would be wrong with Singapore for auditions? It’s a good central location for SE Asia and notably Singapore allows visa-free travel from almost every country in the world.

I say this because Singapore, like Hong Kong (where I lived), has all audio gear ready to demo already. In fact I hadn't even joined Head-fi while I was there because I didn't need to read anyone else's opinion while buying audio gear.

Well yes but one could travel and have all the non-audio experiences even without a Canjam in that country. Why not take Canjam to another country that's starved for audio gear demos? I continue to maintain that Canjam in places like HK, Singapore, Japan are a wasted opportunity.

I live not far from LA, and so this is really a general comment and not one specifically for myself.

Glad to see this announcement. Would love to be able to attend all the events this year, and get some travel in. Based on the schedule, london might be an option, but for sure am looking forward to Dallas again.
