AES New York 2005

Posted by Sachin Garg on 30th September 2005 | Permanent Link

The 119th Audio Engineering Society Convention will take place at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York, NY from Friday, October 7 through Monday, October 10, 2005.

A detailed calendar of the event is available.

At first glance, it might seem that there isn’t much happening there which might interest a data compression enthusiast, but that definitely is not the case.

It will be great if someone who manages to be present there can post an update on stuff we might find interesting :-)
