The Silverdale by the Bay Resort Hotel in Silverdale, WA, will be the site of the second annual Vacuum State of the Art Conference, scheduled for August 21-24. The conference will feature new and vintage equipment, tube electronics seminars, a used-gear swap meet, and demonstrations of audio creations by both amateur and professional designers.

A three-day course in tube amplifier design will be given by Electronic Tonalities in the nearby town of Poulsbo following the conference.

A highlight of the event will be a performance by the Paul deLay Blues Band on Sunday evening in the Admiral ballroom. Monday, August 24, will be a "trade day" open only to exhibitors, the press, and certain special guests. Further information is available at the show's official website.
