Coming This October 25th:
The 2008 Tropical Hamboree 'Hamtoberfest'
Miami's Largest
Computer, Electronics, and Amateur Radio Show
Why the change?
The 2007 Super Bowl was held in Miami on the same weekend as our
show. Hotel rooms for that weekend were booked over 6 months out and
were very expensive.
We have been at odds with the Super Bowl for several
years. It has been held the same weekend as our show for several
years now and the effects have been detrimental. From a sellers
point of view, you either want to leave early on Sunday to see the
game or you are dismayed at the fickle attendance that day. From a
buyers point of view, you just paid an entrance fee on Sunday only
to find over half the vendors packed up by 11AM and most others
anxious to leave. It's very disheartening to pay an entrance fee to
walk in to a half empty room. Super Bowl 2010 hits Miami
again. Due to these reasons, we are changing
the date.
