Seminars
The free seminar programme proved hugely popular at the Pro Audio Showcase ’09 and we are once again providing a separate room for small seminar presentations. Seminars are planned to be of 45 minute duration, which allows for up to half a dozen presentations from a mix of local and international specialists each day.
