Discover the creative possibilities of code at PdMaxCon25~
Each day of the conference features music, art, research, demos, and workshops built with the PureData (Pd) and Max programming environments. Whether you're into sound, visuals, or technology, you’ll experience experimental music and digital art from artists, musicians, and creators from around the world.

Curious minds welcome! PdMaxCon25~ is a great fit for anyone 13 and up who’s interested in creativity, technology, and new ways of making music and art.

In the evenings, things shift gears—late-night concerts at the Gallery Art Bar are for adults only, with bold performances and a relaxed, social vibe.
