Naturschutz and Waste

As these animals are nocturnal, certain areas are also inaccessible during the day in order to protect them.

What should I know about the sensory experience at SUPERBOOTH?

At SUPERBOOTH, sound takes center stage, and there's always quite a bit happening. The trade fair can get busy, with lots of different things going on at the same time. Meanwhile, the sound systems on our stages are really loud. We recommend bringing hearing protection, especially if you're sensitive to either loud volumes or a bustling environment. If you need a quiet break, there are plenty of calmer corners throughout the event area where you can recharge.

Additionally, some areas and stages feature visuals and lighting that include flashing lights, fast-moving imagery, and fog created by a fog machine. If you are sensitive to visual stimuli, please take precautions and enjoy these experiences at your own pace, or avoid them if necessary.

If you need a place to relax and give your ears and senses a rest, check out the chill area next to the Zeltstadt HERE.

What is the Superbooth FLINTA* Area?

FLINTA* is a German concept and acronym that stands for Women, Lesbians, Intersex, Non-binary, Trans and Agender people. The term is commonly used to describe groups that are often underrepresented in technical, music and cultural spaces.

The FLINTA* Area is a dedicated space for visitors who identify as FLINTA* at SUPERBOOTH. It offers a welcoming environment to explore synthesizers, take part in workshops, connect with others and learn about music technology in a relaxed setting. Many of the instruments and systems available in the space are generously provided by exhibiting companies, who support the project by loaning equipment and helping make hands-on learning possible.

We believe it is important that the synthesizer community reflects the diversity of the people who make and enjoy music. While progress has been made, FLINTA* people remain underrepresented at many music technology events. The goal of this space is not to create separation, but to encourage participation, build confidence and help create a more inclusive community. Ideally, initiatives like this will no longer be necessary in the future.
