Portland doesn’t just make music.
we make what makes music.
BECOME A FOUNDING EXHIBITOR
Music Craft NW is Portland's first public showcase dedicated entirely to PNW-made instruments, gear, and pro audio. Reserve your space and put your work directly in the hands of musicians, engineers, and the public.
Why Participate?
Reach New Customers
Introduce your products to musicians, producers, recording engineers, educators, and the public — people who are here specifically to discover what Oregon builds.
Let People Experience Your Work
From hands-on exploration to focused listening and dedicated demo rooms for amps, drums, and horns — designed to let people genuinely hear what you make.
Share Your Expertise
Propose a Music Craft Session — a workshop, maker talk, or technical presentation. Your knowledge is part of what makes this community extraordinary.
Meet the Decision-Makers
Founding Exhibitors are invited to Friday’s private Stakeholder Reception at Jupiter NEXT — an evening with policymakers, economic development leaders, and elected officials who want to hear directly from the people building this industry.
Help Shape What’s Next
Every Founding Exhibitor is invited to the first industry conversation about the future of Oregon’s music manufacturing community. This is bigger than one event.
The Big Picture
Portland became known around the world for craft beer, technology, outdoor apparel, footwear, and food because those industries were intentionally cultivated. Music manufacturing is already here. It already exports. It already creates high-value products. It already attracts global respect. The opportunity isn’t to build a new industry — it’s to recognize one that’s been quietly succeeding for decades and help it become one of Portland’s defining economic strengths.
Reserve Your Space
Founding Exhibitor rates are intentionally designed to make participation accessible for companies of every size. This is a not-for-profit show, part of a larger economic development initiative.
The event venue offers flexible ways to present and engage with prospective buyers - three open “Marketplace” rooms for items that can be experienced via headphones and separate “Demonstration Rooms” for amps, drums and horns and larger vendors seeking focus.

Apply NowDemo Rooms
Dedicated demonstration rooms let your products be heard the way they were meant to be heard — without competing with the main exhibit hall. They are for high-volume or accoustically-focused demonstrations, with or without headphones. Demo rooms can be shared, and scheduling is up to the exhibitors to coordinate. These spaces are ideal for guitar & bass amplifiers, studio monitors & loudspeakers, drums, cymbals & percussion, brass & woodwind, acoustic strings, and other products requiring high-volume or sound isolation demonstrations - because some products need to be experienced at full volume.
Who Should Participate?
Music Craft NW welcomes companies across the full spectrum of Oregon and SW Washington music product manufacturing

The Bigger Picture
This Is More Than an Expo
Every Founding Exhibitor will be invited to the first industry conversation about the future of Oregon’s music manufacturing community — a long-term effort to catalog, connect, and grow one of the PNW's most distinctive traded-sector industries.
