Furthermore, to offer a focus on students – and everyone in the industry still building their career path – reinforces the goals of the Audio Engineering Society to unite audio engineers, artists, scientists and students worldwide through education and the distribution of knowledge throughout the industry. It is because of events such as the AES Mexico Conference that Latin America is our fastest-growing region,” concludes Krivit.
