NAMM boosts audio presence with AES link-up

NAMM and The Audio Engineering Society (AES) have announced a new collaborative alliance which will integrate pro audio educational training activities related to live sound, performance audio, recording technology and other topics into The 2018 NAMM Show.

 
Technical sessions, expert speaker presentations, hands-on workshops and tutorials, as well as networking events and social opportunities from AES will join as a segment of The NAMM Show’s professional development offerings for music and pro audio professionals. 
 
“Audio is everywhere, and it’s a growing part of NAMM,” offered AES president, Alex Case. “And, when it comes to professional audio, attendees and exhibitors alike want to know more and sound better; they’re singing our song.  We are confident a growing number of attendees will want to experience exciting new AES educational opportunities, audition new audio products, and grow their professional networks to include some friendly audio pros through AES at NAMM.” 
 
“As a platform for business and learning, The NAMM Show unites the global music and sound ecosystem in its own unique way,” said Joe Lamond, NAMM President and CEO. “And through our collaboration with the passionate members and leaders of AES, we are now further united in a shared vision of showcasing exciting new products, technologies and educational offerings for the good of the entire industry.”
 
The Audio Engineering Society is the only professional society devoted exclusively to audio technology. Founded in the United States in 1948, the AES has grown to become an international organization that unites audio engineers, creative artists, scientists and students worldwide by promoting advances in audio and disseminating new knowledge and research. Currently, over 12,000 members are affiliated with more than 75 AES professional sections and more than 95 AES student sections around the world. Section activities may include guest speakers, technical tours, demonstrations and social functions. Through local AES section events, members experience valuable opportunities for professional networking and personal growth.
 
Additional details on registration, technical paper sessions, workshops, and tutorials for the upcoming event AES at NAMM, including registration, program topics and expert speakers along with other NAMM education and professional development opportunities will be available in the weeks to come.
