At the heart of the Synth & Pedal Expos is a mission to foster meaningful connections between innovative gear makers and passionate musicians. We understand the unique financial hurdles faced by small, independent builders, especially when participating in large urban events.
Thanks to the introduction of a modest entrance fee for visitors, we’re now able to offer a range of targeted discounts designed to ease the financial burden and ensure more diversity and originality at our expos:
A general 5% rate reduction (already applied to the rates).
Despite an 8% increase in venue costs, we’ve lowered all base rates by 5% across the board.
New targeted (and stackable) discounts, mostly for small builders
These discounts are designed to support the diverse and innovative heart of the synth and pedal community, ensuring these events are sustainable and beneficial for everyone. See the list of extra discounts below.

Stacking & Eligibility Notes
Most discounts can be combined: e.g., a newcomer flying in gets 15% + 10% (flight) + 10% (hotel)
Shared table plans only unless otherwise arranged.
Be prepared to show documentation (e.g. flight receipts, product announcements, etc.)
We believe these incentives will make it easier for smaller players to join the community, share their vision, and connect with a passionate audience of gear-loving musicians.
