Audio Collaborative 2020

 

We hosted our well renowned Audio Collaborative event virtually for the first time in six years. With health and safety being of prime importance during the coronavirus outbreak, we ensured all co-workers, exhibitors, thought leaders and attendees felt at ease to best experience and deliver the range of fascinating topics discussed.

Taking place over the 4th and 5th November, Audio Collaborative 2020 continued to be an event to share industry insights, engage with global brands and define the future of the audio industry within the ‘new normal’. Thought-provoking panels and presentations were designed to ensure audio brands emerge from the crisis as stronger, better positioned, more valuable businesses.
