The Second Annual Central Region AES Student Summit is coming up soon, from Friday April 4th - Sunday, April 6th at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri. We are expecting Bob Katz, Bob Heil, John Storyk and more as guest speakers. There will be panels and tutorials on loads of events -

Go to the schedule to see all the tutorials, panels and demos, along with our guest speakers and presenters!

We will be holding a Recording Competition with great prizes, followed by a RAFFLE. We are modeling it on the AES conventions, on a small scale.

Students have been approaching audio businesses and organizations of all types as exhibitors and sponsors, and many have already confirmed, including:

Shure, Ozark Pro Audio, AVA Audio, Solid State Logic, Sweetwater, Meyer Sound, Ozark Pro Audio, Silent pc review, Roland, Genelec, Gotham Audio, Neutrik, Bag End, Grammy U, AEA, Audio-Technica, Martin Audio, AES, Stanco, Ironman Sound, Webster University

Did we mention that award-winning band Illphonics will be playing on Saturday night? http://www.myspace.com/illphonics
And did we mention that event, along with the Friday night Welcome Mixer is included in your $25 registration fee? Did we mention that we’ll even throw in lunch on Saturday?

This will be a great opportunity for students from the Central Region, some of whom cannot attend the conventions in New York or California, to mingle with their peers from other educational institutions as well as professionals. It will give you the same opportunity to put your hands on gear and network with the pros, just like on the exhibition floor at the Javits or the Moscone Center.

We hope you will attend. We also hope you will spread the word to everyone you know in the audio community: students, educators, pros, AES members and non-members alike.
