Embrace “The Power of Sound’ with the Audio Engineering Society in Milan, Italy, at
the 144th International AES Convention and Exposition, to be held at the spacious and
modern NH Hotel Milano Congress Centre. The four-day technical program at AES
Milan 2018 will run May 23 through 26, while the expo will be open May 24 through
26.
As the most prominent city in Northern Italy, Milan is a technology and manufacturing
stronghold in the heart of a nation characterised by old-world charm and world-
renowned as an incubator of innovation. The thinker-craftsman-inventor culture of
Italy is notably linked to Leonardo da Vinci, who stands in history as one of the great
minds blending science and art. From the father of radio, Guglielmo Marconi, through
the Olivetti corporation (inventor of the typewriter and the first programmable
desktop computer) to auto-makers Fiat and Ferrari, the many unique and successful
technical design and manufacturing firms found throughout Italy have a demonstrable
legacy of technological innovation blended with aesthetic style and manufacturing
prowess.
“Italy has become a key centre-of-gravity for pro audio in the Mediterranean region,
increasingly known for the design and manufacture of amplifiers, transducers and
loudspeaker systems of all types,’ commented AES President-Elect David Scheirman,
who will ascend to the Presidency this fall and preside over AES Milan 2018.
“Numerous respected professional audio brands throughout Italy are built upon a
historical and globally-known heritage of invention, construction, manufacturing and
global export, inspiring the “Power of Sound’ theme for the 144th AES International
Convention.’
The Technical Program at AES Milan will feature a proven mix of sessions covering the
latest in audio research, practical workshops and fundamentals tutorials, covering the
gamut of professional audio. The program will reflect the title “The Power of Sound’
through an emphasis on loudspeaker components, speaker system technology and
audio power amplification, taking advantage of regionally available expertise. The
companion technology exhibition will house leading manufacturers with wares on hand
for demonstration and evaluation, along with educational presentations on the show
floor. Individuals with ideas for workshops and tutorials for AES Milan can now view
