Hamvention General Chairman, Jim Storms, is proud to announce the 2024 event had a record setting official attendance of 35,877.

We thank everyone that attended and hope you had a wonderful time. Friday morning’s rain appeared to not put a damper on attendance. Saturday and Sunday weather was outstanding. There was a lot of activity all across the event. People attended from all around the world and others from close by. You are the ones why we work to provide this event. Hopefully, you found the hardware/software and forums you desired.

Again, I want to thank my hard-working Committee Chairs and their Assistant Chairs along with the approximately 700 volunteers. There are several functions that occur before and after the show. However, a large number work during the show for a minimum of six hours, and some individuals work much more than that. In some cases, they work so much that they do not have a chance to see much of the event. I am especially appreciative of those efforts.

We thank the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) for holding their National Convention in conjunction with Hamvention.
