AES 2024 International Conference on Acoustics & Sound Reinforcement

Call for Submissions

Main Event Page

Acoustics and sound reinforcement have evolved to highly technical fields. There is a need to share the latest research and innovation and to discuss the policies pertaining to this sector of the audio industry. The 4th International Audio Engineering Society Acoustics and Sound Reinforcement Conference will focus on topics in electroacoustic system design, hearing safety, noise pollution, and the future of sound reinforcement. This conference aims to bring together the minds of leading researchers and practitioners to discuss novel ideas and to foster the next generation of innovators in the industry through the promotion of inclusivity and diversity through student initiatives. We look forward to an exciting week of paper sessions, panels, and tours along with hands-on workshops in partnership with the Le Mans Sonore, an event happening in parallel to the conference which sits at the crossroads of music, design, contemporary art, and scientific research.

Sponsored Student Scholarships

A total of four sponsored student scholarships will be awarded for the conference.

Two “Student General Attendance” scholarships will be awarded to applicants that demonstrate a financial need and interest in contributing or learning about the acoustics and sound reinforcement community.

  • Two “Contributing Student Author” Scholarships will be awarded to applicants that have submitted or plan to submit a paper for the conference, that also demonstrate a financial need. 

Recipients will receive the following:

  • One “On-Time” registration cost for one student delegate. (If the recipient registers late, they will not receive additional funds. If the recipient has registered for the conference prior to receiving the scholarship, the registration fee will be reimbursed. This fee will include membership dues if the recipient is not already an AES member)
  • A $500.00 USD stipend to be used for travel expenses in the form of reimbursement after the conference with submission of cost to the AES ASR 2024 Scholarship Committee. 

Requirements include:

  • Proof of student status at a school or university (copy of student ID, transcript, official letter from university, etc.)
  • Demonstration of financial need
 
Applications are closed.

 

Submission Guidelines

The Audio Engineering Society is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the audio community. We encourage submissions to AES events from all audio professionals. We welcome diverse genres, embrace emergent audio fields and research, and strive to radiate inclusiveness to all.

Proposals describing work in the area of Acoustics and Sound Reinforcement will be considered for inclusion in the conference sessions. A detailed list of proposed topics is given below. Please also take the time to review the AES Convention and Conference Author Guidelines before submitting.
