The program is still very provisional, we are open to ideas: Feel free to suggest burning topics and exciting people that we should include in the program.

17.30-19.00 General Assembly 2024 & APERO
We want to keep the official part of the General Assembly short and sweet this year, but of course it is part of it. But afterwards we deserve an aperitif!

19-20h Panel discussion: "VISIBILITY FOR AUDIO"
We are planning a panel discussion followed by a discussion about the visibility and promotion of our audio work. How can we make our work more tangible and accessible to a wider audience? How do we show what audio creation in Switzerland has to offer? Do we need a national platform for our works? How can we work across language barriers?

10-13h eCHo CHAMBER: the first Swiss Audio Unconference (Mini Edition)
On Saturday morning we will have time for intensive exchange at the first Swiss Audio Unconference.
What is an unconference? It's a kind of open-ended format that thrives on the ideas and input of the participants. At the beginning, we collect topics and ideas for discussion rounds, inputs and mini-workshops and then put together our program on site. All ideas for sessions are welcome: discussing burning questions, exchanging technical know-how, listening to rough cuts together, presenting concepts and giving feedback... Feel free to bring your session suggestions!

Location SUNDAY: REC, Via Ronchetto 7, Lugano
