NATC Phoenix will be the first full North American Taiko Conference since NATC Portland in 2019!

We care about conference accessibility and work hard to keep prices affordable, but we know that the cost of registration can be an issue. We put this information together to show how the price of registration remains consistent with 2019 when accounting for inflation, while also showing how we are seeking to provide even more value to participants by providing more workshops for the same effective price.

At the same time, we have been working over the last few years to increase artists’ effective pay from participating as workshop leaders at the conference. These competing objectives are partially accomplished by the scale of the conference - bringing everyone together to the same place - and through generous support of the community through their time, resources, and drums!

As a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the art of taiko, our goal is to provide as much value to you, the taiko-playing community as possible, and the price for conference reflects the costs of production.

Please see the following information to see how we’re trying to bring value to the workshop participants as well as for some tips on how to possibly make NATC Phoenix more affordable. Please reach out to us if you have questions, and we hope to see you there!
