Rome Selected as Host City for 134th AES Convention "We take great pleasure in announcing that the 134th Audio Engineering Society Convention will be held in Rome, May 4-7, 2013," reports AES executive director Bob Moses. "Set in the heart of the 'Eternal City' at the new Roma Eventi -- Fontana di Trevi Conference Centre, the convention will be chaired by Umberto Zanghieri, vice president of the AES Southern Europe Region," Moses adds. Recently opened in the heart of Rome, a stone's throw from the Quirinale Palace and, its namesake the Trevi Fountain, the very modern, Roma Eventi -- Fontana di Trevi Conference Centre is situated in a magnificent neoclassical palace, built by Guido Barluzzi in 1930. Designated by Benedict XV as home to the Gregorian University, the Conference Centre covers almost 30,000 sq. ft., and consists of 15 meeting rooms able to accommodate over 1,000 participants. The 134th AES Convention will bring together audio engineers from around the world to "Listen, Learn, Connect " and share the latest knowledge in audio research, development and applications. This marks the first time an AES Convention will be held in Rome. The 133rd AES Convention will be held in SF's Moscone Center, Oct. 26 - 29, 2012
