ALERT - This event is being postponed until the danger of COVID-19 community transmission has passed. We will attempt to reschedule as soon as Comcast offers us an alternate date. 

Come learn about the evolution of surround sound formats and the core concepts, tools and workflows that have made Dolby Atmos the latest advance in the immersive audio field. Ceri Thomas from Dolby Labs will present what the Dolby Atmos Music initiative is doing to enhance the music production and listening experience. Expect to see and hear numerous examples of this work in Philadelphia’s premier state-of-the-art Dolby Vision and Atmos (32ch Meyer Sound) presentation theatre, the RJR Forum, on the Comcast campus.

Fifty early arrivers will also have an opportunity to experience the Comcast Universal Sphere. Designed in collaboration with DreamWorks, the Universal Sphere show will take you on a full immersive journey celebrating human creativity and the world of ideas. Consider it the appetizer to the evening’s main course.

Upon entering the building take the escalator to the 2nd floor lobby to be checked in. Please try to be punctual. After 6:15 PM it will be too late to join us.
