April 10, 2023

For the 2nd year in a row, Audio Biz hosted a multi-day trade show and training event with many of our top-notch brand partners!

Check out this brief overview of the event and the photo gallery at the bottom of this page!

We kicked off the Roadshow on March 6th in Chicago and proceeded to travel to Madison, Milwaukee, Detroit, & Grand Rapids.

Each location featured product demos, training workshops, and classes worth CTS credit renewals. With us were representatives directly from the manufacturer to show the newest and most noteworthy products, teach classes, and answer any and all questions.

And to bring in all the gear, we packed a 53ft semi-truck to the brim!

A special thank you to all attendees, brand partners, and the Audio Biz team for making this a successful event this year! If you missed it, be on the lookout for more events to come in the near future!
