Abstract

As the newly appointed President of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) from January 2024, I will be focused on a wide range of activities: from hosting large conventions and conferences to smaller training and development sessions; education initiatives; fostering new membership strategies; supporting our various committees, which include everything from standards and publications to education, Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI); and making sure our sections across the globe remain energised. Throughout my time in AES leadership, I have primarily focused on immersive audio and inclusion. This year, I am eager to see how the work we do “behind the scenes” is affecting positive and measurable change, particularly at the Audio for Virtual and Augmented Reality conference to be held later this year.

Here is the report I compiled for the Sir Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity, having attended the previous AVAR conference in 2022.
