Commenting on the recent AES137 Convention, as well as his new role as President, Mayo states “I strongly feel that the recent L.A. Convention has been a resonant success in all aspects. With over 300 exhibitors and 350+ presentations, workshops, tutorials and papers, not only have we proved that the AES is alive and kicking, but also that there is absolutely no convention in the world that can provide the audience with such a high level of education in all aspects of Professional Audio. My special thanks to our Executive Director Bob Moses, Co-Chairs Michael MacDonald and Valerie Tyler, and an amazing team of over 50 people, for putting together the best AES Convention ever, and I look forward to serving as President as we expand the reach of the AES in the upcoming year.”
