This year's Great Plains Audiofest was even better than last year. We learned a few things at the 2005 event that we took advantage of for this year's show. And the things we learned this year, we'll take advantage of next year. One of them is to have banners for every exhibitor. Might seem obvious, but none of us thought of it this year or last. The whole show grew out of a grass-roots, love of music, group of enthusiasts and dedicated niche market manufactuers. So most of us kept things informal and just showed up and setup. But the prominant BassMaxx banner made me realize all at once that next year we all should have banners like that and the whole hotel will be decorated. Imagine each exhibitor hanging an attractive banner from the railing in front of their rooms:

This year, we all stayed through Sunday and that gave us time to do seminars on Saturday. That turned out to be an excellent idea. The seminars were very popular and I think everyone enjoyed them. First one was a tube amp seminar by Jef Larson, followed by the Crossover Electronics 101 seminar that I do, then Jim Griffin's line array seminar and finally Akhilesh Bajaj did a talk on single driver speaker implementations.
