2024 AA - Workshops/Tutorials: 2024 AES Automotive Audio Conference - Workshops/Tutorials Uni3 by Geely Gothenburg, Sweden, June 26-28, 2024

Workshops and tutorials will complement the conference paper sessions by providing panel discussions, presentations and lectures led by experts in the field. These events will provide in-depth yet practical discussions related to automotive audio, while demonstrating the application of science in real-world scenarios.

Submission Guidelines

Authors are encouraged to submit proposals for workshops and tutorials by contacting the co-chairs directly: aa24_workshops@aes.org

Workshops and tutorials proposals should include: title, abstract including the list of topics to be covered (60 to 120 words) as well as the number and names of presenters involved, format of the presentation (single presenter, panel, round-table, etc.), the desired duration of the presentation and what attendees may need to bring (laptop, headphones, etc.).
