The Loudspeaker Sourcing Show 2024 is Postponed

Philip Richardson, Owner of Trueanalog Strictly OEM and Host of the Loudspeaker Sourcing Show announced that the 2024 edition of the show, scheduled to take place 16-18 October in Guangzhou, China will be postponed this year. In a message on social media, Richardson posted that "Due to unforeseen political climate, and limited travel to China from invited countries, the Loudspeaker Sourcing Show will be postponed this year. I'm deeply sorry for the inconvenience."

Promoted by the High End Society in parallel with the Munich High End Show 2023 - May 18 to May 21, 2023 - the IPS - International Parts + Supply - is a new initiative focused on the supply side of the audio industry. Happening for the second time, the 2023 edition will benefit from an extended cooperation with the Audio & Loudspeaker Technologies International (ALTI) Association, which will promote a schedule of conferences and will host a B2B meeting area.

The Audio Product Education Institute (APEI), an initiative of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) that is committed to furthering the knowledge and skills of professionals involved in the development of audio products, will present "Changes and Opportunities in Supply Chain and Sourcing - The Changing Global Dynamics, Managing Suppliers, Planning Your Options," a free webinar on August 26, 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time (12:00 PM Eastern).

For many firms, the outbreak of COVID-19 has meant staff working from home and more use of teleconferencing rather than face to face meetings. However, it's a different situation for manufacturers because, despite investments in automation, reducing the need for staff on assembly lines, they still need staff for most operations, including to receive raw materials. The impact of Coronavirus is both global and unpredictable, and the supply chain shock it is causing will most definitely and substantially cut into the worldwide manufacturing revenue of US$15 trillion currently forecasted for 2020 by ABI Research.

The fifth edition of the Loudspeaker Sourcing Show will take place once again at the Nansha Grand Hotel in Nansha, Guangzhou, China. This annual gathering is becoming an established tradition for loudspeaker designers, brand buyers, engineers, and their decision-makers to meet directly with qualified loudspeaker factories all under one roof. The Loudspeaker Sourcing Show is a three-day industry-only event, every year hosting an increasing number of attendees and exhibitors.

The Loudspeaker Sourcing Show, now in its third year, will take place October 16–18, 2017, at the Nansha Grand Hotel, Guangzhou, China. This show is an all-inclusive solution for loudspeaker brand buyers, engineers, and their decision makers to meet directly with qualified loudspeaker factories over the course of this three-day event. A significant number of new manufacturers and industry associations, including the Audio Engineering Society, have already confirmed support to the event.

Over 38 vetted suppliers and OEM assemblers have enlisted to participate on the first edition of The Loudspeaker Sourcing Show in Guangzhou, China. Since doing business in China has all kinds of associated legal issues, the promoters invited one of China’s most respected legal firms to attend with their international representative on hand.
