131st AES Committee Announced "Expectations for the 131st AES Convention are particularly high this year," reports committee chair Jim Anderson. "Our team is making an extraordinary effort to create an unforgettable event." Scheduled for Oct. 20 - 23 at New York's Jacob Javits Center, this year's attendees will find a variety of workshops, tutorials, papers, master classes, technical tours and special events designed to hone their skills and recharge their batteries. AES executive director Roger Furness says, "Our chairman Jim Anderson is a particularly accomplished engineer, producer and educator. His organizational acumen and leadership skills make him an indispensible asset. Many of our chairs have served for years and their knowledge of their fields is legendary. Broadcast and streaming events chair David Bialik is back for his 23rd consecutive convention, which we believe is a record. "We are honored to attract this level of talent each year, and our attendees reap huge benefits from their dedication to producing a first-rate event." The 131st AES Convention Committee is comprised of chair Jim Anderson, broadcast and streaming events chair, Bialik; live sound co-chairs Henry Cohen and Mac Kerr; workshops/tutorials chair Natanya Ford; education chair John Krivit; papers co-chairs Veronique Larcher and Agnieszka Roginska; technical tours Chair, Lou Manno; games track chair, Steve Martz; facilities chair, Michael McCoy; EE co-chairs, Bob Moses and Jonathan Novick; tech tours/volunteers chair, Doron Schacter; and master class chair, Alan Silverman. "Our committee is constantly challenged with topping the previous year's events, and the 131st committee is clearly up to the task," Anderson concludes. "Over the next few months we will announce a number of surprising innovations and high profile participants. The vigor, good humor we see evidenced at each of our committee meetings convinces me that the 131st convention will be one for the books."
