The first inaugural New York Audio Production Show will premiere at Madison Square Garden on January 30 – February 1, 2003, 3 weeks prior to the Grammys. The 3-day event is comprised of a cornucopia of several educational activities including a technical Pro Tools International Users Conference, industry leader panels and discussions, vendor workshops, user group meetings and an exhibition. The purpose of the show is to provide “how-to” technical info, creative insights, the latest trends in audio production and provide audiophiles the spectrum of current buying options. The event is designed for East Coast-based sound designers, technicians, audio engineers, producers, performers, sound contractors and these professionals working in sound post-production reinforcement, broadcast stations, film and video productions.
Says Rick Friedman, President of Mindshare Ventures, the producer of the event, “There hasn’t been an event for audio pros in NYC for over a year so we expect 3,000+ to attend and we believe it’s a great opportunity for audiophiles to get distilled advice, objective opinions and demo the latest products at a great location – Madison Square Garden.”
Chaired by Mix’s journalist, Paul Verna, the 12 Keynote sessions are open, free to all attendees. Topics discussed include:
