ALTI, Audio & Loudspeaker Technologies International, was forced to cancel its ALTI-EXPO 2020 due to the global pandemic. So they looked for a way to serve Members and Exhibitors without risking travel. On June 15, there was a series of online sessions presented as a service to the ALTI's members and the industry. Now, nine of the webinar sessions are available directly on ALTI's website. ALTI is already working on a new and expanded Virtual ALTI-EXPO 2 on July 15.
Links to the firs Virtual ALTI-EXPO sessions from June 15, are available free here.
These include sessions by Mvoid Engineering, NTi Audio, Klippel GmbH, Michigan Tech University, USound GmbH, HEAD acoustics, Resonado, and the Engineering Student’s Guide to Loudspeaker Design session by Mark Glazer (ALTI Board of Directors and Harman International).
As the Executive Director of ALTI, Barry Vogel, explains, trade shows and events have been cancelled one after the other and these online initiatives are essential to keep everyone connected. "Make no mistake; trade shows are the life-blood of many, if not most, associations, and ALTI is no exception. The pain is real. When ALTI was forced to cancel our annual event, ALTI-EXPO 2020, we knew full well the financial stress that this would place upon the association. ALTI cannot survive as an association unless its community brings consistent value to our Members. If the value is real, the support will follow. To this end, ALTI is providing FREE access to a full 9 hours of presentations to anyone in the audio and loudspeaker technologies community."
As the only global association dedicated to loudspeaker technology professionals, ALTI is now committed to holding another 1-day Virtual ALTI-EXPO on June 15 with a full day of non-stop presentations - 16 already in the plan. "We are offering this FREE to anyone who wishes to attend, regardless of whether or not you are a Member. We are deriving NO revenue from this event. Of course, it is our hope that both Members and non-members will take note of ALTI's commitment to the industry and commit to joining or renewing Memberships," Vogel adds.
Until the next ALTI-EXPO 2021, scheduled for June 13 & 14, 2021 in Orlando, this is the best way to keep the audio and loudspeaker industry connected and active.
