“New” vendors, a.k.a. those interested and haven’t been trading at SMC during the recent edition or haven’t been trading at SMC before at all, please go to the landing page of our website and scroll down to the bottom of the page. There you’ll find a link to sign up to the “new vendors” list.

Yes, under the same roof actually: NH Eindhoven Conference Centre Koningshof.

We will have a special page on this website available early 2024 to book your rooms at the hotel of the venue.

That page will also contain a list of suggested other places to stay, but by no means we can offer a complete list of hotels, B&B’s etc.

We advise to use  booking.com or similar platforms to find an alternative location for your stay during SMC, in case you cannot obtain a hotel room at the NH Koningshof.

Of course,  too many to list.

The entrance fee can be paid with debit and credit cards at the ticket counters at the main entrance and also at the show entrance via the hotel.

We also take debit and credit card payments at the raffle stand and at the contest administration desk.

And we also take debit and credit cards at the contest registration desks.

Also, all SMC vendors are asked whether they also accept e-payments of any kind and we will indicate those who do on the floor plan in due time.

Because we are not a pizza, and we cannot do magic, but we’re stupid enough to give it a try anyway.
