AES Conventions

AES Convention

AES Conventions are held annually in both the United States and Europe and are the largest gatherings of audio professionals in the world.

Workshops, tutorials, technical papers and the trade show floor provide attendees with a wealth of learning, networking and business opportunities.

All of the papers presented at conventions — a selection of which are subsequently published in the AES Journal — are available for free to E-Library Subscribers and at nominal cost to others. Papers from the year 1953 onwards are available.
