morphsci Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I do disagree with using the moniker CanJam for this event but otherwise a great development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Yup, doesn't help anything to dilute the canjam brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Why does this dilute the brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Because canjam is the annual national event, and this is just a headphone section in another meet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Plus, it would probably make more sense to promote the core Head-Fi brand to a completely new audience rather than the ancillary CanJam one. "Head-Fi at RMAF". Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Here's the issue: both in terms of size and attendance this could dwarf "CanJam". Is it a headphone specific event, no, but I think there are ways around weakening the branding of the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 That's great if what you want canjam to become is a small part of a big trade show. It's not so great if you want canjam to be the place where headphone enthusiasts gather and gab. I'm glad there's a giant headphone section at RMAF. As someone who actively supports the community building aspects of the meets, tho, I'm not as happy about the canjam at RMAF monicker. Things like this could potentially kill canjam as a big deal all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Things like this could potentially kill canjam as a big deal all together. I think that's a touch alarmist. Nothing is going to kill the idea of CanJam, 99% of the attendees could care less what it's called. The first national meet didn't even have a name and was a complete success. Headfest was fine too.

grawk Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I just don't see where the value to anyone is in calling a room at another festival canjam. Take that however you want to take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 My reason for not liking CanJam at RMAF is mainly to differentiate the two events. It's not a big problem AFAIC but I think it helps both events to have unique names. Head-Fi ties both together so the important aspect is to differentiate the event in the minds of potential attendees. While I agree that Head-Fi at RMAF has the potential to dwarf CanJam in terms of numbers, Mathematically (and from headphone/headphone paraphernalia vendors perspective) an RMAF attendee and a CanJam attendee is not a one-to-one relationship.
