In your experience, is this actually worth attending? The Phoenix area is about three hours' drive from my location.

I don't go to Hamfests any longer. Too many people think that radios, amps, etc are appreciating assets, not used commo gear.

The same behaviours are seen at gunshows, HiFi audio gear meets, car shows, etc. and I'm at the age where I don't pay extra for anything because of ADM/ADP/market adjustments, etc.

Hmmm...did the flyer that you posted for the event disappear? Is this the hamfest you are talking about?
SuperFest – One of the largest amateur radio hamfest and technology swapmeet gatherings in the Desert Southwest

I didn't take it down and have no idea why it disappeared.

Yes, that is the upcoming Superfest for those interested.

Ah bummer that they moved it all the way out by Mesa Gateway airport.

Yeah, that looks like a bit of a hike for most of the Phoenix area. I lived near 115th and Shea in Scottsdale for a year and kinda got used to everything in the Valley being an hour away.

Appears to be a nice, modern facility.
