AES Convention – Audio Engineering Society 2026

AES Conventions are major international events for audio professionals offering technical presentations, exhibitions, and networking opportunities focused on audio engineering and music technology.

AES Show 2026 Nashville

The Audio Engineering Society's flagship US convention runs 30 October – 1 November 2026 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee.

The AES convention is the professional audio world's technical meeting of record — the venue where recording, live sound, broadcast audio and audio research meet. Papers and workshops sit alongside manufacturer exhibits, and the attendee base runs from studio engineers and live sound professionals to the researchers advancing spatial audio and audio DSP.

Nashville is a fitting host: the show lands in the middle of one of the world's densest recording communities. AES also runs regional conventions in Europe and Latin America; this is the US flagship.
