Axpona

Looking for feedback on the AXPONA event in Chicago in April. I have never attended an event like this.  Is it a worthwhile event if you are looking to make some upgrades to your system?  Are you able to make purchases at the event or do you order and product is shipped to you?  I also noticed that some brands like Wilson, Kharma, Transparent, Shunyata or not on the list and if there is any reason why?  

Any guidance or feedback is appreciated about attending something like this is appreciated.

  I live a few miles from where Axpona takes place and I’m on the fence.  I haven’t started attending Chicago Symphony Orchestra concerts again, and perhaps I should do that before attending an Audio Show.  I am mildly immunocompromised, due having Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, and work as a Primary Care Physician so I get some risk exposure every day.  My wife is a Nurse and the worse thing I've ever  did was take her Axpona when it was in Rosemont, pre Covid.  Her memory of 20 crazed Audiophiles packed into a hotel room makes it difficult to discuss going back, even though the newer venue is much better
