High End 2024 Returns to Munich as the Must-Attend Event for the Audio Industry

As the 2023 edition of the High End Show clearly demonstrated, the tradeshow's international significance continues to grow as more manufacturers choose to make their most significant announcements at the event. The 2024 edition, 9-12 May is gearing up to be the most exciting ever as initial exhibitor numbers demonstrate, once again taking every available space at the MOC Event Center, in Munich, Germany. As the High End Society reports, in the initial weeks after the invitation for the 2024 edition went out, over 200 exhibitors signed up to present their innovations at the largest event of its kind. For many years, the High End has been a recognized showcase for the high end and home audio industry, building upon the dynamics of the robust German market to attract also an increasing number of global brands and international trade visitors. People from over 90 countries flock to Munich every year to discover the most exciting audio designer, find out about the industry trends, network, and do business. For industry experts, audiophile enthusiasts and music lovers, the four-day event in May 2024 once again promises to deliver a unique world of experiences.
 
For over four decades, the High End has set the right tone when it comes to products for top-quality music reproduction. It provides strong impetus and gives fresh new ideas to designers, manufacturers, dealers, and consumers alike and is renowned for its balanced mix consisting of a B2B trade fair and a hands-on event. The first two days of the four-day trade show are reserved to trade visitors. On the weekend, the doors will also open for the consumer public. 

In 2023, the High End show marked its 40th staging and managed to achieve the greatest success since its inception in 1982, and  the current number of bookings clearly demonstrates the continuation of that growth trend. "We are extremely pleased to see such a consistent positive response," says Stefan Dreischärf, Managing Director of the High End Society Service GmbH. "Although we cannot foresee how the market will develop in light of the strained world economic situation, we remain optimistic and are doing everything in our power to ensure that the next High End will once again be a winning event for everyone involved."
