The Audio Engineering Society has chosen The Hague for its 152nd International Convention as a central hub of commerce, arts and travel, located conveniently near to Amsterdam’s popular Schiphol Airport, among other easy transportation options. Whether attending your first AES Convention, coming again as a dedicated attendee or presenting your own work to the enthusiastic gathering of attendees from around the world, this year’s return to in-person AES events in The Hague presents a prime opportunity to “Listen, Learn and Connect” with peers and pros in an easily accessible and culturally rich environment. The AES invites you to enjoy our spectacular venue and surrounding area, dotted with gardens and canals, world-class museums and art, restaurants, shops and more.
The in-person event takes place in the new spectacular Amare building, at the Royal Conservatoire, The Hague, and includes workshops, leading industry insight panels and keynotes, together with partner demonstrations, experiences and networking. Top researchers and cutting-edge practitioners will share insights on new and groundbreaking audio technologies.
Paper and E-brief lecture presentations will be part of the online technical program only, but AES will have poster presentations available during the in-person event. For the full content check: www.aeseurope.com/program
As attendees from across the globe gather in The Hague, this first in-person AES Convention event in two years promises to deliver face-to-face interaction with both peers and the leading minds in the industry, including such noted presenters as Tom Ammerman, Paul Geluso, Brad McCoy, Claire Lim, Thomas Lund, Agnieszka Roginska and Nadja Wallaszkovits. Workshops, Tutorial presentations, panel discussions and select Papers and Engineering Briefs Poster Sessions pack the two-day schedule. Highlights include the Convention’s keynote address on Saturday to be given by Kees Tazelaar – who created a pioneering immersive audio experience for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair – and Saturday’s live Heyser Lecture “Wave Field Synthesis – Just a Wave … or a Durable Synthesizer in the Audio Field?” which will be presented by Diemer de Vries (a reprise of the Heyser Lecture is scheduled during the Convention’s online portion).
As immersive audio content production is becoming ubiquitous, understanding both content creation and the end-user experience is now a must for all audio professionals. Convention sessions will cover foundational topics including the creation of a predictable listener experience in scenarios ranging from typical to advanced; the necessary transducer and acoustic properties for transmission of immersive sound and integration with Virtual and Augmented Reality; multi-channel sound design philosophy; and peeks into what’s-next in this evolving field. Additionally, a host of sessions on Binaural Audio will be featured during the Convention’s online experience.
Immersive Audio sessions at AES Europe illustrating the quality of presenters and depth of content will include, “The Inception Dilemma Revisited” with presenters Thomas Lund (Genelec OY), Hyunkook Lee (University of Huddersfield) and Kimio Hamasaki (ARTSRIDGE); “Directions of Sounds in 3D Audio Productions” with Lasse Nipkow (Silent Work GmbH); “Immersive Audio Tools for Beginners” led by Marcela Rada (University of Lethbridge); “Considerations to building multi-dimensional objects for immersive experiences” with Agnieszka Roginska (New York University) and Paul Geluso (New York University); and the panel discussion “What’s the Next Step Towards Advanced 3D Audio Recording?” featuring Kimio Hamasaki (ARTSRIDGE), Misaki Hasuo (WOWOW Inc.), Toru Kamekawa (Tokyo University of the Arts), Hideo Irimajiri (WOWOW Inc.) and Kazuya Nagae (Nagoya University of the Arts).
Signal Processing, Acoustics and Listening Environments, Electronic Music Performance, Microphone Techniques, Archiving and Restoration and Audio Measurement are among the topics covered in over 100 workshops and presentations featured across the in-person and online components of the 152nd International AES Convention
