Greetings,
I would like to invite you to participate in the 144th Audio Engineering Society Convention in Milan, Italy, which takes place 23-26 May. Please have a look at the events and opportunities which we offer for educators and students:
The AES Student Recording Competition is an opportunity for students to present their recording works to a panel of renowned industry professionals to critique and award the best productions. The Student Recording Competition submission deadline for the 144th Convention in Milan is 16th April 2018.
The AES Saul Walker Student Design Competition is a chance for aspiring hardware and software engineers to gain recognition for their hard work, technical creativity, and ingenuity. The Student Design Competition submission deadline for the 144th Convention in Milan is 4th May 2018. The Student Delegate Assembly of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) will offer a free entry to select number of students to attend the Student Design Competition at the 144 AES – please see the attachment.
AES Student Paper Award
At each AES Convention, an award is given to the best submitted paper written by an AES student member.
Education and Career Fair
The AES Education and Career Fair will match prospective students with schools and job seekers with companies.
Schools
One of the best reasons to attend AES conventions is the opportunity to make important connections with your fellow educators from around the globe. Academic Institutions offering studies in audio (from short courses to graduate degrees) will be represented in a “table top” session. Information on each school’s respective programs will be made available through displays and academic guidance. There is no charge for schools/institutions to participate. Admission is free and open to all convention attendees.
Companies
Looking for the best and brightest minds in the audio world? No place will have more of them assembled than the 144th Convention of the Audio Engineering Society. Companies are invited to participate in our Education and Career Fair, free of charge. This is the perfect chance to identify your ideal new hires! All attendees of the convention, students and professionals alike, are welcome to come visit with representatives from participating companies to find out more about job and internship opportunities in the audio industry. Bring your resume!
Workshop with Interfacio: “Careers in the Professional Audio Industry - First Steps”
Starting out on your career in audio? Not sure where to start? Looking for some advice on possible career paths?
Richard Wear has over a decade of experience in recruitment but also comes from the audio industry himself. Having originally trained as an engineer he has worked in key sales, marketing and product development roles for leading audio manufacturers, dealing with distributors and customers worldwide, and gaining a unique insight into the challenges and requirements of professional audio brand businesses.
This seminar will be a fairly open format discussion and will cover marketing yourself to potential employers, how to format your CV/cover letter, and how to break into this exciting industry if you’re just starting out in your career.
Creating Audio Plugins with MATLAB
The first AES MATLAB Plugin Student Competition is now open for submissions – The entry deadline is August 15, 2018, with showcase and awards scheduled for the upcoming 145 Convention of the AES in New York City.
This optional tutorial covers the technical foundations needed to enter the competition. After attending, you will be able to build a simple VST plugin using MATLAB. You will learn about structuring code for real-time efficiency, defining clear interfaces to tune parameters via interactive controls, testing generated plugins against original designs, and much more.
The session will make use of practical coding examples – prior programming experience will be beneficial but is not required. A video recording will be available online after the Convention.
