The direct result of a collaborative effort between the Audio Engineering Society (AES) and DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group, the HRA programme will include a number of panels and sessions that address the current and future direction of HRA from various perspectives, including content creation, digital distribution, licensing of hi-res music files, archiving, subscription models, marketing/promotion of hi-res music, compatibility of playback devices and more.
These panels and sessions will feature some of the brightest minds in the business as they discuss some of the most current and controversial issues concerning the rapid adoption of high-resolution audio across the industry.
Additionally, there will be an HRA Exhibition Zone that offers an opportunity for CE manufacturers and music industry executives to engage the professional recording community and discuss strategic HRA initiatives.
"The DEG is pleased to join with the Audio Engineering Society in promoting the benefits of Hi-Res Audio during this event," said Amy Jo Smith, president, DEG. "Working together, we can underscore HRA's numerous benefits to the professional recording community and enlist their support in helping drive this initiative."
