Electronic Music Instrument Exchange and Expo

August 28-30th, 2026

In partnership with Boredbrain Music, the team behind EMIXX in Ashland, VA, we are excited to announce EMIXX WEST, an intimate, community-first, hands-on modular synth, hardware, and pedal expo, with a gear swap meet, DIY workshops, live performances, and guest speakers. The best part of events like these is the people we meet, so this event focuses on building community and inspiring each other to create more music, tones, and gear. Join us AUGUST 28th – 30th for an amazing weekend in beautiful Colorado to be reminded why we got into this niche gear.

Join Us

Check out the forms and info for vendors and volunteers below. I will add a guest registration soon, but for now, save the dates!

Vendor Info

EMIXX WEST is looking for volunteers to help with the main event. We could use help with:

  • Setup: tables, cables, and power
  • Check-in: vendors and guests
  • Vendor support during load-in
  • Managing/assisting with the PA system
  • Cleanup + breakdown
  • Carpools for out-of-state vendors

DIY sessions

We’re also looking for a few soldering stations we can borrow for the DIY sessions we’re planning.

Interested?

Please use the volunteer form on this page to tell us:

  • How much time can you help (all day, a couple of hours, etc)
  • What you’d like to help with (or what you’re open to)
  • Whether you can bring/loan a soldering station

Thank you—volunteers will receive an exclusive EMIXX WEST staff shirt, plus the priceless feeling of giving back.

If you’re not sure yet what you can do, that’s totally fine. We’ll follow up closer to the event to confirm details. This list helps us keep track of everyone interested.
