From Slash to our star-studded Producers Panel, we truly had something for everyone — all of which is still available on our YouTube channel. Check it out here if you missed anything.
In addition to the content we livestreamed, we also published nearly 1,500 videos created by our vendor partners.

You can hear directly from engineers, product experts, and endorsed artists throughout each of these videos. If you missed them during GearFest, we’ve kept them live for you to take a look here.
