| Friends,
Yes, it is that time of year again where we officially kick off the planning for SPX 2023. This year's SPX will occur September 9-10, 2023 at the Marriott Bethesda North Hotel & Conference Center, with events occurring in the days preceding the show throughout the Washington, D.C. area.
Please be sure to check out our newly redesigned web site.
We look forward to seeing everybody this September!!
COVID-19 AND SPX
In these times of pandemics and other easily transmitted diseases, the health and safety of the SPX Community is paramount in our minds. So here is where we stand with health measures at this year's show:
- Masking will be required for everybody, attendees, exhibitors and SPX staff/volunteers.
- If there is a current Covid wave close to the show, proof of vaccination will once again be required to gain entry. This decision will be made and communicated to the SPX Community in mid-late August.
- For exhibitors, we will once again limit the number of people behind tables to 2-3 people, with medical exceptions allowed.
ATTENDEE KEY DATES
- First week in June - For those attendees coming from out of town, the hotel room block will be made available.
- Late June - Advance tickets will go on sale.
