The Audio Networking Forum will be held at RIBA in Portland Place London W1 on 12 December 2014. The top level conference will bring together leading industry players to analyse, debate and discuss audio networking in production workflows. It will also be an invaluable social networking opportunity.
"No area of professional audio has remained untouched by the potential of audio networking," said conference organiser Zenon Schoepe. "Anyone who thinks that audio networking won't impact on their work doesn't understand it. This is core technological change that will alter attitudes and working methods forever. The Forum will explain the technology and give examples of how it's being used today while also giving a glimpse into how it will develop across the industry in the future."
The conference ticket price includes entry to all the sessions, desktop presentations from the sponsors, refreshments, lunch and a drinks reception, lots of literature to take away and an excellent opportunity to network with likeminded professionals in a central London venue.
Participants: Audio consultant Mark Yonge is chairman of the Audio Networking Forum, and will open the programme with a 'This is audio networking' presentation that will explain core networking technology and structure and how it works. It will also introduce the available audio networking 'types', what they are, and how they 'fit' together; Jan Eveleens (CEO of Axon Digital) and Pro Video Segment Chair for AVnu Alliance will speak on AVB, the principles, the status and why it matters to the audio community; Andreas Hildebrand from ALC Networx will explain Ravenna: its route to market and wider adoption; Patrick Warrington from Calrec will give a presentation entitled Knowing your onions, setting different and differing networking technologies in perspective and context; Dan Page from DiGiCo will present examples of using networking on high profile live events; Gil Wasserman from Waves Audio will give examples of how SoundGrid is employed on live production and studio applications and back again; Claude Cellier from Merging Technologies will give real-world large-scale applications of Ravenna networking in recording.
