Listening in High Definition: Future Music Consumption

Wednesday, March 16
2:00PM - 3:00PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 10B
531 E 4th St

Having every song in your library doesn’t matter if the sound totally sucks. But, with the launch of high definition streaming platforms, and advanced audio technology becoming more common for home users, what does the future hold for the act of listening to music? Or should we say ‘the art’? Meet the faces behind some of today’s (and tomorrow’s) innovative music technology, discussing the cross-section between high-fidelity music, technology, and streaming services. Leaders in the field will discuss what kind of struggles innovators in audio tech are facing, where artists fit in the bigger picture, and how our demand for high quality sonic experiences is fastly expanding.
