If you're interested in checking out what you can expect from a CanJam, I'd recommend starting with the CanJam SoCal 2019 Impressions Thread for a good look into what all happens during a CanJam weekend. Most exhibitors have a "walk up" approach, but occasionally there will be exhibits that require booking an appointment in advance. Often the most popular items will have a short wait to try out, but in my experience the wait times have always been reasonable. As for exhibitors selling gear, that's up to the individual exhibitor. Some will sell product at the show and others won't. There are a number of factors at play that will determine if someone does or doesn't, so it's impossible to say in advance who will and who won't have product for sale at a given show.

Gotcha. I'll check that thread to get a better idea, thanks! Looking forward to getting to attend one of these, now if only September can hurry up and come

CanJam is great fun - I definitely recommend a visit. Too bad about last year so here's hoping that we can all get together in September!

Yeah, read that impressions thread and it sounds like everyone who went in 2019 had a great time. Plus if I can get the chance to test some HP's I'd likely never get a chance too like Utopia, Empyrean, etc then that alone would be worth it for me I think. Bought my ticket already, so now just the waiting game

I hope you and your family are doing as well as everyone can during these unique times.

It’s amazing the CanJam crew will make the next SoCal event a reality hopefully this September!

A question that may prove to be unpopular:

Will there be a vaccine requirement in order to attend future events?

Take care, and stay strong!

Hey @third_eye, @moedawg140 makes a very good point. Hundreds of people swapping the same air for hours, all touching the same stuff before sticking it on their faces. Got to be a super-spreader risk if you have a lot of people unvaccinated.

Just wandering, is there any UC(UCI, UCLA...) students here?

@tdl2024, even if you can't buy directly from booth at CanJam, bear in mind many offer show discounts so you purchase then set up shipping, with a sweet discount!

Hopefully by that time the vaccine is widely available so that everybody who wants it has been able to get it.

Sept in SoCal, the hottest month of the year, most of the time.

Not everybody wants it. You know, because of the implanted micro-chip that Bill Gates will use to track you and stuff.

Too hot for me in September, and it seems to be getting hotter each successive year.

It gets hot, but the show is inside with AC running.

Right? It's not THAT hot. I'd rather have it be a warm day then the alternative. CAMJAM Nome in December was a disaster!
