The Audio Engineering Society’s first conference dedicated specifically to audio education will focus on teaching methods, instructional resources, learning outcomes, technical operations, areas for research, and similar topics that are relevant to organizations and individuals who provide theoretical and practical training in all areas of audio engineering.

The aim of this conference is to address these topics through a focused series of presentations, papers, workshops, case studies and discussions among professional audio educators, trainers and administrators. The conference will be peer driven, and its outcomes will include a collection of formal papers, historical documents, survey instruments and potential recommendations for educational resource management and development.

Over 30 peer-reviewed papers and posters have been accepted for presentation along with eight workshops and tutorials. For more information visit the conference web site or Facebook page.
