Always a great event!

It is always a good show.  I am looking forward to it.  If you are going to attend, get there early because there is going to be a traffic nightmare due to the Packers/49ers game that day at 5:15PM.  Levi's stadium is across the street from the Santa Clara convention center.

This is true. My friend contacted the convention center and they said you are going to have to be brave, come early. Oh boy…..

Any reason why? I thought there was a good turnout

From what I understand the convention center has kept rising prices on the room and i'm sure there are other costs that keep going up.

Hopefully maybe they can find another location

Venue costs were definitely a factor, but it was also pointed out that some of the host club members had passed away, while others were dealing with serious health issues. Putting on a show of this magnitude takes tremendous effort, and these guys have put in yeoman effort for the past 39 years. No. 40 will be a must-attend for me. Grateful to Rex, Roy, Andy, and all the others who have made this show possible for so long!

It was a fun show.  I have been attending since 1995.  Definitely sad that next year is the last one.  Big thanks to all of the organizers.  You guys have done an awesome job the last 40 years.

I saw a couple of videos from the show on Youtube.  They covered the show really well.  This was one of the longest ones at about 50 minutes.
