Hey guys:

There is momentum building to host a Sound Quality Summit in Vancouver sometime this Summer. It's been mentioned a few times in this thread: http://www.canadiancaraudio.com/cgi/...c;f=8;t=000665

I wanted to start a new thread to discuss the plausibility of doing one, and probably most importantly, an express of interest. Please respond here if you'd be keen on attending, and how many you might expect to come along with you.

And for the Calgary guys...don't worry, we're working on something there to, so hang tight!

Scott

I am interested. Similar cost to the one that just happened?

Yes, more than likely. My expenses are about the same...maybe slightly higher with the plane flight. But figure $300 CDN as a safe bet...

Scott

Okay so here it is. I attended the summit in Buffalo last weekend and would like to share my views on it. I have been in car audio for many years and have experience and knowledge in almost every facette of the 12 volt industry. However the amount of knowledge that I gained from the summit is absolutley overwhelming and invaluable (thank god I took notes). The ideas and techniques that were shared by Scott and the group were amazing. The seminar covered topics such as speaker design, speaker placement, set-up and tuning techniques, fabrication techniques, and much much more.

I dont want to rant on about this but I will say that if you are serious about moving forward and bettering your abilities in car audio you really should attend this summit. The cost of attending will be returned back ten fold in the knowledge and information that will be gained.

P.S. Thanks Scott I really enjoyed the seminar.

My self and one employee would be attending.

Would their be some sort of incentive similar to the last seminar?

Depending on the date, I am very interested.

I'm interested if you think that a supplier perspective would be valuable.

Thank you Chris!!!! Glad that you liked the seminar and got some good things out of it!

Scott

Hey guys:

Thanx for the interest. I will retiterate that this is still in the way-out planning stages. Nothing set officially in stone. I want a good Calgary event too, so I need to be sure that there will be enough attendees to support two events at capacity, and not have them compete against one another. I think the same format as the last Summit in Buffalo would be followed, and yes, I do see incentives being laid out in the same way. More to come on all of this...

Scott

Well Vancity and Cowtown are pretty far from each other, and should each be able to draw lots of participants, specially since the west is better at SQ than the east [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'd be very interested in attending the event. :D

I'm interested too, please keep us posted.

I would consider attending.

Scott, as per our discussions, just let me know at date and it's a done deal............

Also, if you post over on Carsound about the Vancouver one there are alot of WA and OR people that would be interested in attending.

Perhaps as this idea matures it'd be a good idea to post something over there. But it probably shouldn't be me that makes the post. It'll just be deleted.

On another note, perhaps we can ask those that have already responded if they'd go to a Calgary event, or if they'd only consider going to a seminar if it was local in Vancouver. Once again, need to be sure that a Calgary draw won't be hurt by one in Vancouver, as Calgary was the first to be considered.

Oh, and thanx Tim for the vote of confidence and the use of your facilities for an event!

Scott

I would not drive to Calgary.

Put me down for either one. It is quicker for me to fly to Calgary and probably cheaper as well [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] rather than taking the BC Ferry Queen of The Ghetto over to Vancouver. WestJet rocks, direct flights from here to Calgary.

I prefer the Queen of Much Needed Repair :D

If the dates work for me I am in for one or the other.

Scott, your PM box is full dude.

Emptied. Try again!

Scott

I would consider attending the vancouver one

count me in.

I'm in for Vancouver and I'll do a head count of a few buds and let u know.

Just want to reinforce what Chris from PT said. This event is completely worth going to. I can't emphasize enough to take advantage of this opportunity when it happens. You will walk out knowing more then you did walking in. And one of the best parts is the question and answer period. You can ask whatever you want. In Buffalo the Q&A sometimes it turned into a big group discussion and it was amazing to realize the knowledge and experience in the crowd as well as what Scott had to offer. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

iam in for either one.

Depending on timing I would be interested as well -- very good opportunity to learn from a master.

hey mike had my first guiness beer the other day....... well..... hey mike had my last guiness beer the other day.

LOL -- oh well.

Any update?? Is this gonna happen... I'll be in Van July 23 & 24 and 30 & 31??

I am certain that you'll be hearing something soon about this. The interest in the seminar is very good, and it will happen. It's just a matter of when...

Thanx for your continued interest, and sorry for the late reply.

Scott

I am willing to come out !!
