let's talk about Superbooth 2025

The "Superbooth" is a Synthesizer Trade Show/Exhibition which is open for everyone that is only slightly interested in synthesizers and modular studio equipment. You have the chance to get hands-on with presented equipment, you can talk shop, you can join workshops, you can do DIY stuff and you are able to enjoy various concerts on the event grounds. It emerged in 2016 and has constantly evolved in it's consecutive years.
"Superbooth" is currently occupying the the "FEZ" (Freizeit und Erholungszentrum) and it's surrounding "inner yard" areas, the adjacent "Strandbad Wuhlheide" (mainly it's "Strandbühne"/"beach stage"), and also the "Bungalowdorf" - with certain meetup spots seeded throughout Berlin Wulheide and also beyond that.

The "Superbooth" is held every late Spring, and is still a recurring visitor at the FEZ (Freizeit und Erholungszentrum), Berlin (Germany). Europe's biggest, non-profit children-, youth- and family center, located in the south east of Berlin in the district named Oberschöneweide (or more precisely, at the Wuhlheide).
In 2025, the event continues to also occupy additional outdoor areas - which are designated and there will be ticket checks at the main entrances. More space for exhibitors, less volume build-up in corridors and booths, resulting in a generally more relaxed environment. Which is great for taking a break, grabbing a bite, or even have a meetup.
There is a lot of ground to cover, get some comfortable shoes, and consider an extra day for visiting.

Exceptions do apply for workshops. There are aftershows at the nearby "Waldkater", starting at 9pm / or 21:00 and go until open end.

Accessing the area:
I highly recommend to travel via public transportation, as parking spots at the event are very limited. Germany dropped their "mask mandates in public transportation" in Q1/2023 . However, it is still recommended to continue wearing (medical) face masks in very crowded areas. Nobody will look at you weird if you do, sames goes for if you don't. Just be reasonable (see S-Bahn Berlin announcement)).
You can access the area from two sides:
Front Side - by Tram (tram station: FEZ - Freizeit und Erholungszentrum)
Back Side - by S-Bahn (S3, train station: Wuhlheide)
Alternative routes:
S-Bahn to Karlshorst (S3) - then take the Tram to the "front side" of the event grounds
Whatever route you plan to take, please triple check that your planned way of traveling is working out for you.

There will definitely be a "Youtube Fan Meetup" (has morphed into a bigger community meetup) nearby the "Zirkuszelt" on Saturday around early afternoon. I will take a look and hang out for a bit.
During Superbooth 2024, I was also walking around the event grounds with @Jorgeelalto. Aside from checking out new equipment and talking to various music community fellows and developers, we also met previous Mix Challenge Song Providers (incl. Adrian Parzentny and Gaz Williams). Last event was such a blast with a lot of surprise meetings, I hope there will be more Mix Challenge regulars attending as visitor or even exhibitor.
If you want to hang out in general, then please either comment here in this thread, or reach out on Discord.
I will randomly check both the forum and our Discord Server while being at the event (also keep an eye on the Superbooth 2025 sub-thread on Discord). But it's best to plan things beforehand. The sooner people make up their mind, the better the planning for everyone interested. If more Mix Challenge community members roam around the event grounds, we can figure out a fixed meeting spot.
Look out for either a black hoodie with the Mix Challenge logo at the top left chest, or a T-shirt with the Mix Challenge logo on the left arm sleeve.
