The Audio Engineering Society is pleased to announce its second AES International Conference on Headphone Technology which will be held on August 27–29, 2019 in San Francisco, CA, USA. The first edition of the Conference was held in August 2016 in Aalborg, Denmark. This conference focuses on technologies for headphones with a special emphasis on the emerging fields of Mobile Spatial Audio, Individualization, Assistive Listening and Audio for Augmented Reality. It will gather scientists, developers and practitioners who are involved in theory, technical design, application or evaluation of headphone technology. The conference will be an interdisciplinary gathering encouraging fruitful discussions across the headphone, hearing aid and audio delivery industries.
Submission Guidelines
The Conference Committee invites the submission of full papers of 4 to 10 pages by March 24, 2019, using the conference EasyChair submission system. Templates describing paper format will be available at the paper submission site. All submitted papers will be double-peer-reviewed before selection. Papers and author information may be submitted starting from December 2018. Acceptance of papers will be determined by the conference review committee, and authors will be informed of the decision by May 20, 2019. Final versions of papers following any revisions guided by the committee’s review must be submitted by July 22, 2019. Based on several factors including scheduling, the conference committee may decide upon which contributions will be presented as talks, or posters, respectively. Posters will be held during exclusive time slots and feature short introductory talks of poster presenters.
Additionally, the committee invites all interested persons to propose demonstrations, workshops or thematically suited product presentations. Email proposals may be sent to 2019hp_workshops@aes.org by May 31, 2019. Demo acceptance notifications will be emailed by June 30, 2019.

Venue
The conference will be held at the Golden Gate Club, Presidio, San Francisco. Built in 1949, the Golden Gate Club is a popular celebration and meeting venue on the Main Post, the cultural heart of the park. The site features views of San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the Presidio forest.
The Presidio, a 1500-acre park on a former military post, is a major outdoor recreation hub. It has forested areas, miles of trails, a golf course and scenic overlooks. Other highlights include grassy Crissy Field with Golden Gate Bridge views, Civil War–era Fort Point and sandy Baker Beach. Historic buildings house the Walt Disney Family Museum, eateries, homes and businesses like Lucasfilm, with its Yoda Fountain.
