Hi all,

The first ShowNight of 2009 is looking to be another great night!!!!!

SEDA ShowNights are Bi-Monthly physical meetings primarily for members but also open to visitors (at no charge), offering the opportunity to see new kit, meet and network with colleagues, suppliers and other related businesses and individuals and also generally discuss our industry.

All are very welcome, so if you've ever wondered what goes on please feel free to come along. Also if you came along a few years ago and weren't too keen, come and see us again, things change.

This ShowNight we celebrate SEDA’s 35th year!!!

We look forward to continuing the success of bringing new product, industry news, business education, new music, etc to our membership and the wider DJ community and continuing our relationships with manufacturers, DJ associations, Online DJ Forums, and other industry and business associates.

Unfortunately we do (very rarely) get serial visitors who claim they see no value in joining but would like to attend the ShowNights. We feel that the ShowNights are one of our members favourite benefits and therefore as a general rule would expect someone that wanted to attend on a regular basis to join the association.(As a guide we would not expect a visitor to attend more than 2 ShowNights in any 12 month period)

Sounds great<Do we get anything like this up North?

Not sure - I guess NADJ possibly will have something going on - might be worth checking their website out.

Unfortunately we are a regional association. That said we do have a new member based in Leeds, although I don't think he'll be getting to many ShowNights lol.

Cheers,

I've moved now, but when I was based in the South East, it was worth every penny of the subscription money to attend a SEDA show night. Lots going on, and then some.

We used to, it was called 'DJ Show North'

It ran for a few years, but dwindling attendance plagued it in the later couple of years. 2008 saw it open its doors for the final time, and this was the last one I believe.

Plasa in Leeds is a new venture, which is being held for the first time in 2009 I believe.

Thanks for the Info.
