2021 Knobcon Number Nine Coming This Weekend

 

Knobcon Number Nine kicks off this Friday, September 10 at the Hyatt Regency Schaumburg, with two full days of synthesizer and pro-audio exhibits, informative lectures and workshops and live music throughout the weekend.

 

There will be special precautions this year, to align with state guidelines and to make the event as safe as possible for attendees. Changes include mandatory masks, larger rooms to allow for social distancing and eliminating the Saturday synth banquet.

 

Knobcon 2021 will offer three days of events and a chance to connect with synthesist from around the country and around the world.

 

Organizer Suit & Tie Guy of STG Soundlabs let us know some of the highlights planned for this year’s event:
