Shownights

SEDA Shownights are bi-monthly meetings primarily for members but also open to non-members, offering the opportunity to see new kit, meet and network with colleagues, suppliers and other related businesses and individuals, and to generally discuss our industry.

The meetings are currently held every third Sunday of every other month at The Village Hotel in Maidstone, just off the M20 at Junction 6.  To find out when the next meeting is, to the right of this text is a Shownight diary with the dates of the next and future shows.  If you’ve ever wondered what goes on, please feel free to come along!  If you last came to see us a few years ago, a lot has changed so we’d love to see you again!

Our popular Shownights are great places to meet up with industry reps.  Here’s a small list of some of the companies who have attended SEDA…

• Manufacturers – Denon, Funktion One, Formula Sound, Pioneer, Prolight, American DJ, CD Pool, Numark, Martin Lighting
• Retailers – Allied Sound & Light, EBDJ, MixMash, Essex DJ, Glosticks UK
• Associates – Musicians Union, RNID, ProDub

As well as offering you lots of things to look at, we give you the option to listen too.  In the past we have had guest speakers offering information on accountancy, taxation, vocal work & talking in public, hearing protection, DMX, and more!

To see some pictures of previous Shownights, please have a wander over to our Gallery.

If you would like to attend a future Shownight, here’s where you will find us…

The Village Hotel
Castle View
Forstal Road
Maidstone
Kent
ME14 3AQ  (for SatNav purposes please use this postcode instead – ME14 3AS)

Doors open at 19:30.  Finish around 22:30/23:00.

Just follow the signs as you walk through the door.  The hotel has free wi-fi, nice rooms for staying over in, relaxing leisure facilities (pool, spa, sauna and steam room) and offers a cracking breakfast in the morning!

Unfortunately we do (very rarely) get serial visitors who claim that they see no value in joining SEDA but are happy to come to our Shownights.  The small modest fee we ask for SEDA membership helps pay for the Shownights.  Room rental is not free, nor is electricity!  We feel that our Shownights are one of our members’ favourite benefits and therefore as a general rule we would expect someone who wants to attend on a regular basis to join SEDA.  As a guide, we would not expect a visitor to attend more than two Shownights.
