Celebrating 20 years of organising Hi-Fi & AV Shows around the world, Chester Group has announced details of its 2018 Show in Melbourne from 19–21 October.
To be held at its most prestigious venue yet, The COMO Melbourne MGallery by Sofitel in South Yarra, big names have already signed up to be at the Australian Hi-Fi & AV Show with around half the space already taken.
More than 200 brands are expected to be on display from exhibitors such as Yamaha, which has booked three suites, Dynaudio, Pioneer, Astell & Kern, Dali, Rega, Sonus Faber, Audio Note UK, Prism Audio and many more.
Leading distributors from across Australia have suites booked including BusiSoftAV, Indi Imports, Network Audio Video, Addicted to Audio, Reference Audio Visual, Synergy Audio Visual, Krispy Audio, Absolute High End, Audio Marketing, Powermove, Sound Gallery and Audio Magic.
Chester Group is a major supporter of the Australian Hi-Fi & AV industry, holding an annual Hi-Fi & AV Show in Melbourne or Sydney since 2011 and being a Platinum Sponsor of the Sound & Image Awards every year.
This year, Chester Group is offering an early-bird special on all tickets: buy one get one free, whether one, two or three day passes. This will encourage new visitors and expand the audience. The 2 for 1 special can be purchased online up to 31 July 2018.
Another incentive for visitors are the significant prizes on offer such as an Astell & Kern portable audio player valued at around $5000.
A new experience for visitors to this year's show will be the ability to audition the Loewe experience with the most comprehensive range of Loewe TVs including -the most beautiful OLED TV in the world', the Bild 7. This uses a panel that is made by LG Display exclusively for Loewe and comes with motion mechanics, integrated soundbars and the TV's unique user interface.
Roy Bird, CEO of the Chester Group, said this year is shaping up as one of the best ever held in Australia and the Group remains committed to the industry.
"The luxurious venue, the large number of significant international brands and exhibitors, the 2 for 1 offer, and the high level of prizes available will be a huge attraction for local and interstate visitors to the show," Bird said.
"Our primary focus is and always has been to ensure a strong and sustainable Hi-Fi and AV industry, which we will continue to support.
"We've planned a significant PR and advertising campaign and, as usual, we will have wonderful entertainment that will match our previous years when we've had John Paul Young and Fiona Joy."
