We are delighted to invite you to attend and contribute to the 11th annual Audio Developer Conference (ADC). After a successful ADC25, ADC will return to Bristol UK in 2026.
The in-person and online hybrid conference will take place 9-11 November 2026. Our in-person conference venue is the Delta Hotels by Marriott Bristol City Center.
The Audio Developer Conference will continue to be a full 3-day conference. The first day (9 November) includes even more programmed talks and workshops available to all attendees. The game audio track will return for ADC26 as well as an increased focus on live sound technologies.
ADC returns once again in 2026 as a combined in-person and online hybrid conference format.
A big part of the conference experience is the live interaction between attendees. The live conference virtual experience will return using the Gather online platform paired with the in-person Bristol, UK conference running at the same time.
All ADC keynotes, panels, and talks will be available to all attendees. In-person sessions will be broadcast live to online attendees and online sessions will be broadcast into the venue.
This year’s Audio Developers Conference will bring back the ADC Workshops within the main conference schedule for both in-person and online attendees. The hybrid workshop format will ensure that these informative sessions can be attended by our community of developers, educators, and students all over the world.
ADC26 Workshops take place on the first day of the conference (9 November) and are open to all conference attendees. Workshop participation will require registration as spots are limited and will be on a first-come, first served basis.
The first day of the conference (10 November) will include a full day of 18 minute talk programming running alongside morning and afternoon workshops and will be open to all attendees.
Talks at ADC range from audio research, to professional practices, to standards in audio development, as well talks about application areas and career development. Experimental projects are welcome. We are seeking a balance between deeply technical talks aimed at experts as well as more accessible talks that may be of interest to students and new developers.
Topics include, but are not limited, to:
Multiple proposals from a single speaker are encouraged, but only the highest voted submission will be accepted.
