SBE 2026

[Buzzard II]

I already know that SBE is April 9-12 2026
But I haven't been to one since before Covid. Now there's been no action on this thread in three years.

Is this event dead? Is it as big as in the past? I'd like to go but is it worth the drive?

I`ve been going since 1995. Wouldn`t miss this event. To me Hell yes its worth going.
Lots of vendors, lots of cues to see and even better, great friends to see as well.
To me, it will never be as big as it was than when it was at the Radisson, but where its at now, is a pretty easy place to get into. Hope this helps you out

I live in the area and used to go every year, but now I go every few years because the number of exhibitors seems to have decreased. It's now a matter of whether I need any equipment. For just wandering around to see the exhibitors' tables, the entrance fee isn't worth it for me. Honestly, the last time I went, which was probably in 2024, was underwhelming. Part of that feeling is probably because I remember the Radisson years so fondly.

I need some equipment, so I plan to go this year. I'll see if my league teammates want to make an afternoon or evening of it. I want to support SBE and hope to see more exhibitors this year.
