We are delighted to invite you to attend and contribute to the 7th Audio Developer Conference (ADC).
The in-person and online hybrid conference will take place 15-16 November 2021, with additional post-conference online workshops on 19 November 2021.
New Hybrid In-Person & Virtual Format
Due to the overwhelming success of last year’s Virtual ADC we have decided to bring the conference back for online attendees in addition to an in-person event returning to London.
A major part of the conference experience is the live interaction between attendees. For ADC 2020 we were able to accomplish this by creating a live conference virtual experience by using the Remo platform. For ADC 2021 we will bring back the virtual experience using the Gather platform paired with the in-person London conference running at the same time.
All ADC 2021 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.
To conclude this year’s Audio Developers Conference we will be bringing back the ADC Workshops in an all-new online format. This will ensure that these informative sessions can be attended by our community of developers, educators, and students all over the world. All attendees will have access to the ADC 2021 workshops.
This Year's Programme
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:
Digital Signal Processing
Audio synthesis and analysis
Music technology, DAWs, audio plug-ins
Game audio
3D and VR/AR audio
Creative coding
Other applications of audio programming (e.g. telecommunications, multimedia, medicine, biology)
Design and evaluation of audio software and hardware systems
Programming languages used for audio development (e.g. C++, Rust, Python)
Software development tools, techniques, and processes
Performance, optimisation, and parallelisation
Audio development on mobile platforms
Embedded, Linux, and bare metal audio programming
Low-latency and real-time programming
Best practices in audio programming
Testing and QA
Educational approaches and tools for audio and DSP programming
Planning and navigating a career as an audio developer
Other relevant topics likely to be of interest to the ADC audience
