The DJ Expo is in its 20th year and — now that
we’re set to produce our 25th show — we have to ask: 

Have you been to 15 DJ Expos?

Have you been to 20 DJ Expos?

Have you attended all 24 DJ Expos — including the shows in:

• Orlando (’91)
• LA (’91-’93)
• Chicago (’92)
• San Fran (’99-’00)?
• Have you been to every show in Atlantic City
(1990, 1994-2009)?

Can you prove it? Do you have the memorabilia? Expo badges? T-shirts or program guides? Do you have pictures from past Expos? From the parties? From the showfloor? Do you have receipts for long discontinued DJ products you bought at DJ Expo?

-

Tell us in 100 words or less why you are
The Ultimate DJ Expo Attendee
— and you might be a winner!

DJ Times and The DJ Expo want to know because we’ll have something very special for one lucky, longtime attendee—to be presented at the 2010 DJ Expo, Aug 16-19 at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, N.J.
Please send your responses and pics to ultimate@testa.com, with Ultimate Expo DJ as the subject line.

Set for Aug. 18 at The Taj Mahal’s Ego Lounge, Skrib’s always versatile set will cap off a week of manic Expo events, which include DJ-pleasing parties, seminars and exhibits.

DJ Times magazine presented its first DJ Expo in 1990. Now, 20 years later, the Expo remains the DJ industry’s best-attended, most successful trade show/exhibition. Each year, the Expo presents more than two-dozen educational seminars, an exhibit hall filled with the latest DJ, pro audio and studio gear, and three evenings full of sponsored events, like the always-fulfilling Promo Only Party.
