Discover some of the biggest insights from Audio Collaborative 2023.
In an era where music and audio revolutionise how we all engage with, enjoy, and experience our world, Futuresource Consulting’s Audio Collaborative event commands a position at the crossroads of technology and commerce.
Hosted at London’s iconic Soho Hotel on 4 November, this year’s packed-out event was a defining example of how the industry can come together with camaraderie and collaborative energy. From industry-shaping insights and business strategies, to an exploration of trailblazing technologies, Audio Collaborative 2024 inspired bold conversations, setting the stage for the future of audio. The event was sponsored by a selection of world leading audio brands: DTS, Qualcomm Technologies International, Ltd., Audioscenic and Knowles.
Automotive is the new frontier of entertainment. Or at least, that seemed to be one of the key take-home messages of Audio Collaborative 2023. As cars become smarter and safer, so much more becomes possible – from both an audio perspective and regarding infotainment. Sarah Yule (KEF) exemplified this during her presentation at Audio Collaborative, through the partnership between two iconic British brands, KEF audio and Lotus cars.
