The Pacific Audio Fest has new owners!
I founded PAF to fill a need in the Northwest and to make this the most fun show in America, trying to bring back the vibe of the early Rocky Mountain shows.
After three great shows I realize that I personally need more time with my family, because of that I have had to cancel the 2026 show. The good news is that two people who share my vision have stepped up to take over PAF and the show will return next spring! Check the "About Us" page for more info on who is taking over. Please keep checking back for more updates on next years show.
The Pacific Audio Fest is the first major audio show promoted
by exhibitors and music lovers for music Lovers and exhibitors!
The Pacific Audio Fest is a new audio show hosted in Seattle and serving the entire Pacific coast, from Los Angeles to Vancouver, BC. Seattle is a top tech hub and one of the fastest growing communities in the USA, plus it is a vacation paradise in the summer months. The Seattle area has great demographics for the audio industry and incredible natural beauty to make this a great destination for the audio enthusiast and their families.
PAF show Director and Founder Lou Hinkley has over thirty years experience as an exhibitor in music trade shows and festivals with his company Daedalus Audio. The original show collaborators include Gary Gill, Founder of Capital Audiofest, and other notables in the audio industry, together we will made this a fun and extremely high quality event for attendees and vendors all the while keeping this show to a scale that works for everyone. We personally believe 80-100 rooms makes for a great, stress free show and will leave larger shows than that to others.
