Another AES Convention has come and gone and while we're wrapping things up we cannot help but be grateful and proud of the people the Student Delegate Assembly gets to work with every year. All of our judges are incredible at their art, craft, and science, and generously dedicated their precious time to help students improve their skills and become better engineers, musicians and designers.
We received close to 70 submissions for the Student Competitions in Los Angeles. Not only did the judges take the time to assess all the entries leading up to the Convention, they were also an integral part of our sessions at the event itself and happy to talk to students personally, give their feedback and share their knowledge.
We are immensely grateful to collaborate with people who are willing to give back so much to the student community.
Many thanks to:
