Multiplex at Cramton Bowl, Montgomery, Alabama
Welcome to the 8X! Expo, where the grooviest of the groovy gather, including those who have witnessed the world before the birth of bell-bottoms and disco balls in 1973. It’s a grown folks’ party (50+ and up), and we’ve got moves that are older than some TikTok trends!
Now, we’ve expanded our VIP list. If you’re a person living with a disability, you’re not just invited; you’re our guest of honor. We appreciate your unique perspectives and want to make sure 8X! is accessible and inclusive. We’ve got ramps, accessible restrooms, and a dance floor ready for your smoothest moves. So, strut your stuff, roll your wheels, or do whatever makes you comfortable because the 8X! Expo is for everyone who’s here to have a blast!
But, if you don’t fall into any of these categories, fear not! You can simply buy a ticket and join the party. Yes, you heard it right; it’s as easy as ordering avocado toast at brunch. No need to crash or sneak in – we welcome all party animals with open arms and a funky beat.
And for those who want in but don’t have a stash of cash, fret not! You can still join the fun as a volunteer. Not only will you get to enjoy the wisdom of the ages, but you’ll also get some snazzy volunteer swag.
So, whether you’re here to groove, reminisce, or lend a hand, we’re delighted to have you at the 8X! Expo.
Let’s make some unforgettable memories (or relive them) together!

PS: Now, here’s a little bonus for you: We strongly recommend getting vaccinated before you join the party. It’s the responsible thing to do, like wearing platform shoes on the dance floor (okay, maybe not that responsible). But hey, we get it; life’s busy. So, if you run out of time, don’t worry! We’ll have a pop-up clinic on-site, making it as easy as a dance move to get a shot in the arm. By the time November 4th rolls around, the new COVID-19 vaccine will be ready, and you’ll be ready to boogie safely! So, whether you’re here to groove, reminisce, or lend a helping hand, we’re absolutely thrilled to have you at the 8 X Expo. Remember, it’s all about the funky beats, the timeless memories, and staying healthy while we party like it’s 1973!

Sponsorship is like wearing a neon-green tuxedo to a black-tie event – you can’t help but stand out. It’s your golden ticket to exposure that’s brighter than the sun (and hotter than a jalapeño eating a habanero). When you become a sponsor, you’re not just a participant; you’re the star of the show, the Beyoncé of the expo world, the one everyone wants to rub elbows with (figuratively, of course, because actual elbow-rubbing is so 2019).
