“We’ve had a blast carving out the new venue, adding more large exhibitor spaces and a marketplace, as well as a room dedicated to seminars,” said Bart Andeer, Director of show operations. “Also new for this year is our partnership with IASCA Worldwide, Florida Sound Quality, and SQOLOGY. We are hosting an invitational car audio sound-quality competition and demonstrations in the outdoor space with over 30 of the top competition vehicles from around the US. Music lovers unite!
