Audio Developer Conference (ADC) is an annual developer community event celebrating all audio technologies from music applications and game audio to audio processing and embedded systems. ADC’s mission is to help attendees acquire and develop new skills and build a network of people that will support their career development. It is also aimed at showcasing academic research and facilitating collaborations between research and industry.
The 2022 conference will feature 65 talks, keynotes, panels, and workshops that focus on audio development technologies for the creative industries. Participants, whether in person or virtually, can acquire new skills and network for career development through direct contact with representatives from Apple, Focusrite, Avid, GPU Audio, Audiotonix, NVIDIA, and many others.
A wide range of topics will be covered at ADC22, including:
- The Musical Instruments of Star Trek by Astrid Bin
- Incompleteness is a Feature Not a Bug by David Zicarelli
- Solving GPU Audio Processing Problems by GPU Audio and the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute
- Audio Industry Health Check Panel with CEOs and CTOs from Focusrite, InMusic, Image-Line Software, and Source Elements
- Talk abstracts from the ADC Call for Papers chosen by the audio developer community

Diversity and Accessibility are also important themes central to the ADC organizing committee. This year's conference will include several events including "Celebrating Women in Audio" as well as feature an Accessibility Zone product showcase spearheaded by Jason Dasent.
"This event would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors and shared vision of the ADC diversity and inclusion initiatives," states Bobby Lombardi, Chair of ADC. "We are grateful to be able to offer a record number of diversity scholarships and support for our new initiative, the ADC Accessibility Zone."
To bring the social networking element to online attendees, the ADC team has built a virtual conference hall using the Gather platform for a unique and immersive experience. Virtual participants will create an avatar and enter a virtual conference hall to network, visit sponsor booths, access talks via conference rooms, and conduct meetings with other virtual guests in private spaces.
Although in-person London tickets are sold out, online tickets are still available and support ADC as a not-for-profit organization. Online tickets provide access to the online conference, including online workshops, all talks, conference Discord server, and virtual exhibition room. Tickets to the virtual event can be purchased – all for an affordable price starting at £49 (that's Pound Sterling, an old currency that is still used in the United Kingdom, equivalent to approximately $56 USD or 0.0000562 Bitcoin).
