AUSTRALIAN HI-FI EXPO RESCHEDULED

Marc Rushton, of StereoNet, has announced that he has cancelled the Melbourne Home Entertainment Expo scheduled to be held in November 2020 and has rescheduled it for 9th to the 11th of July 2021. ‘We were on track to be the largest show of its type ever held in Australia, so it is with regret that we have made this decision, but as a country and an industry, the priority must be to stop the spread,’ he said. ‘We are taking an ultra-cautious approach to shows in 2020, so November has to be a no-go and we don’t think that any show will run anywhere in 2020 and even those in early 2021 may be impacted by crowd rules and a lack of international flights.’ When the Melbourne Home Entertainment Expo 2021 is held next year, it will take place at the same venue originally scheduled for the 2020 show, the Pullman Convention & Events Centre in Albert Park, Melbourne. This venue has three exhibition levels, more than 150 dedicated exhibition spaces and the ability to add extra rooms and suites as required. ‘The Home Entertainment Expo 2021 will be the largest show of its type ever held in Australasia,’ said Rushton. ‘We plan on bringing a taste of the Las Vegas CES to Melbourne.’

The Melbourne Home Entertainment Expo 2021 will also feature Australia’s only three-day Record Fair, which attracts vendors and attendees from all across Australia, who are looking for the latest in rare and collectable LPs and CDs, as well as the latest releases and re-issues.
