TC-AC NEWS

Plans for the upcoming 149th AES New York Fall Convention are underway to ensure a safe, productive and compelling event. Although the NAB NY Show 2020 is being converted into a digital event, the Society and its legal team are still in discussions with the Javits Center concerning the Fall Convention.

While planning for the Convention Technical Program is progressing on a normal schedule, registration has not yet been opened. Because safety is the highest priority, the Society suggests we refrain at this time from finalizing travel arrangements.

Following the success of the recent AES Virtual Vienna Online Convention, our Fall Convention Technical Program will be available worldwide in an on-line streaming format.
