The 2024 Hamvention saw record numbers of attendees, according to a release from Hamvention General Chairman Jim Storms.
Storms said that this year had an official attendance of 35,877 people. This broke the record set last year of 33,861 amateur radio enthusiasts, which itself broke earlier records.
“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,” Storms said. “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.”
He also thanked the Committee Chairs and their Assistant Chairs, as well as the convention’s 700 volunteers.
“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,” he said.
