AES Show Long Beach

The AES Show is the world’s leading trade fair and conference for professional audio and sound technology, and it is considered an essential industry event for sound engineers, developers, researchers, and manufacturers. Since its debut in 1949, it has grown into one of the most important international meeting points for the audio industry. The event is organized by the Audio Engineering Society, Inc. (AES) – a renowned international organization founded in 1948 and based in New York, dedicated to advancing innovation, research, and education in the field of audio technology.

Held once a year and open exclusively to industry professionals, the AES Show currently takes place at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center in California. With its modern infrastructure and convenient location near Los Angeles, the venue provides an ideal setting for an event of this scale. Its combination of urban atmosphere and state-of-the-art facilities reflects the international character of the show.

Far more than a traditional trade fair, the AES Show serves as a specialized forum for the latest technologies and developments in professional audio. Topics include immersive sound design, AI-driven signal processing, live sound, broadcast technology, multimedia applications, and studio innovations. The program features keynote speeches, hands-on workshops, guided technical tours, product presentations from leading manufacturers, and live demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies.

Highlights include world premieres of new products, the presentation of prestigious industry awards, and exclusive lectures by internationally recognized experts. The AES Show also provides a platform for forward-looking research, much of which is regularly published in the society’s scientific journal, the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society.

With its global orientation, strong focus on technological innovation, and high professional standards, the AES Show has established itself as a central hub for knowledge exchange, networking, and strategic partnerships—remaining the flagship event for the international audio community.

The AES Show will take place on 2 days from Thursday, 23. October to Friday, 24. October 2025 in Long Beach.
