FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AES Show 150th International Convention Heyser Lecture and Keynote Presenters Announced


— AES Convention signature events highlight innovators in audio science and technology —


New York, NY, April 29, 2021 — The AES has announced new Keynote and Heyser Lecture presentation details for the upcoming AES Show Spring 2021 Convention special events series, streamcast online, May 25 – 28. Keynote speakers will include audio innovators Lenise Bent, Marina Bosi and Eelco Grimm, with this Convention’s Heyser Memorial Lecture being given by hearing and psychoacoustics pioneer Diana Deutsch.
