Hi everyone,
This will be my first time attending a CanJam, in general, what I can I expect? I know its a very open and newbie question but...any reply is appreciated.

You can expect to enter a huge room with dangling crystals overhead and lose track of time until 5 minutes before closing when you realize that there are hallways on both sides of the main room leading to smaller rooms with even fancier headphones that you completely missed.

Sounds like a great time.

I've been to every CanJam NYC since the first year and I still find those ceiling decorations an odd choice.

After you see that psychedelic carpet, you will forget about the ceiling

I've never ever once looked up in NYC and i've been there 4 years running (minus last year). I am always wow'd by the carpet.

Definitely be sure to check out all the tables. It's very easy to have tunnel vision as your first time. You have vendors like MusicTeck and Bloom who will have a huge offering of various equipment to try. Its very easy to overlook desks. Manage your time wisely!

Great replies from everyone, really appreciate the thoughts. But once you see that carpet...can not be unseen.

In just a few short hours we'll be one year closer to CanJam NYC 2022. I guess it's time to start planning my path of attack for the show. What gear is everyone looking forward to trying most?

FiR's new lineup, to hang out with my buddies at Empire Ears (it's been over 2 years!), and I wanna pick out a new desktop dac/amp to fly home with.

But realistically I'll do my best to see everything as always

Many of the vendors have set ups that use some type of music streaming (Roon, Tidal, Qobuz, etc.) so you can usually find the right music but you can bring your own music as well.

I also recommend bringing a small backpack for all the goodies and brochures you are sure to collect.

Any chance of Campfire passing out Andromeda IEM's?

This is the current exhibitor list with 3 months to go. We'll continue to update the list as more exhibitors join the show.

I was chatting with Mr Lee from Elysian Acoustic Labs telling him that I was looking forward to meeting him at CanJam NYC since I thought I saw his company listed as an exhibitor. But, he told me he wasn't exhibiting, nor attending. He said he was only going to CanJam Singapore.

Is the Elysian Acoustic Labs listed on the exhibitor list different than the Malaysian Company with a similar name?

OK they have worn me down . I would hate to miss another CanJam over the moronic mask mandate and Yes this is the last time I will say anything about it .
Flight and room are booked.

Excellent to hear. I'm still planning to attend and we'll need to grab a bourbon or whisky. Happy New Year!!

I am already on it. No decision either way so far...

Hope you can make it!

There is an Executive Lounge at the Marriott Marquis. If there are any Marriott Platinum Elite or higher members, the Happy Hours sport free drinks and Hors D'Ouevres. Unfortunately, the Lounge is closed on Sunday, but Fri and Sat should be good.

This will be my first year going and I'm very excited to see what it's all about. I assume we can bring our own headphones to audition other amps and sources, but can we also bring our amps to audition other headphones? Curious if there's any tables with power strips set aside for something like that.

Are alot of the chifi companies not attending this year? Was looking forward to Thieaudio and fearless customs.
