The Audio Engineering Society has announced technical program details for the upcoming AES Europe Spring 2022 Convention, taking place in-person on May 7 and 8 at the Amare, Royal Conservatoire, The Hague, Netherlands and online on May 16 to 19.
Immersive audio, signal processing, acoustics and listening environments, electronic music performance, microphone techniques, archiving and restoration, and audio measurement are among the topics tp be covered in over 100 workshops and presentations featured across the in-person and online components. Best registration pricing for in-person, online and bundled experiences is available at AESEurope.com through April 11, with additional discounts for AES Members and AES Student Members.
The first in-person AES Convention event in two years will include presenters such as Tom Ammerman, Paul Geluso, Brad McCoy, Claire Lim, Thomas Lund, Agnieszka Roginska and Nadja Wallaszkovits. Workshops, tutorial presentations, panel discussions and select papers and engineering briefs poster sessions pack the two-day schedule. Highlights include the convention’s keynote address on Saturday to be given by Kees Tazelaar – who created a pioneering immersive audio experience for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair – and Saturday’s live Heyser Lecture “Wave Field Synthesis – Just a Wave … or a Durable Synthesizer in the Audio Field?” which will be presented by Diemer de Vries (a reprise of the Heyser Lecture is scheduled during the Convention’s online portion).
The schedule at The Hague has been designed to maximize networking opportunities. Early arrivals can register for a Friday late-afternoon behind-the-scenes tour of the host venue, which serves as the home to the Royal Conservatoire, Residentie Orkest and the Nederlands Dans Theater, while events tailored for AES Student Members include special master class sessions, mix critiques, dedicated social time and more.
The online convention will offer additional exclusive technical program offerings, papers and engineering briefs presentations, partner presentations and online networking opportunities. Streamed presentations will remain available for on-demand replay for a limited time after the convention.
