121st AES Convention, San Francisco, CA, USA

From October 5-8, 2006, in San Francisco’s Moscone Convention Center, the AES Convention Technical Program offered its traditional four-day run. However, AES executive director Roger Furness has announced a format change designed to meet the evolving needs of the pro audio community. “The Technology Exhibition is now scheduled for three days, October 6-8, a change which reflects well-considered exhibitor requests,” Furness said.
Chairman John Strawn reports that the all-volunteer Committee began meeting in late 2005, to develop an exemplary program of Papers, Tutorials, Master Classes, Workshops, Exhibits, Broadcast, Educational, Historical and Special Events. “We have attracted a dedicated and eminently professional Committee,” he said. “Surpassing standards set by earlier conventions is a formidable challenge, but this extraordinary brain trust will not disappoint the thousands of international audio industry pros who look forward to this event all year long.”
