Welcome back to the city that never sleeps! New York City is once again
hosting the AES Convention (October 9 to 12, 2009). It’s been two
years since audio pros trampled through the streets of N.Y,, attending
the convention, hailing a taxi, dining at a great restaurant or taking
in the sights.
Each year, we offer our "AES Audio Products Guide," where you can
find the latest products that will be debuting—or showcased—at the
show. Make sure you bookmark this page during the show for late-breaking
news through our blog, updated videos of product demos, nightly
newsletters and much more!

around now!
