Want to grow your network, learn about new sound tools and audio approaches, meet potential customers, find new talent and collaborators – or perhaps simply just hang out with your fellow colleagues in the sound community?

The good news is that there are a huge number of interesting audio conferences, community meetups, masterclasses, industry events and more happening around the world that’ll help you do just that. Trouble is, getting an overview of these events is really hard.

That’s something I’m hoping to change, though. How? I’m really excited to introduce the Audio Events Calendar section here on A Sound Effect, a continuously-updated overview of events that are relevant to those of us who work in sound.

The calendar features more than 40 hand-picked events already + there’s a new calendar widget on the blog, showcasing upcoming events. Be sure to check out the calendar below:

  1. It would be great if the city and country of each event was listed at the top of the descriptions indeed the dates. Some are obvious because the city is in the name of the event, but others you have to go to the next page just to find out the location of the event. Other then that thanks for this cool resource. I will be checking it frequently.

  2. This is a great resource to help pull the game audio community together onto the same calendar, nice!

    Also relevant is the Worldwide Game Audio Groups map that shows the location and contact information for game audio groups across the globe.
