High levels of interest reported in ISCEx2014

Interest in the ISCEx2014 Exhibition and Networking Dinner in March is running at a near unprecedented high, reports the Institute of Sound and Communications Engineers.

According to ISCE’s secretariat manager, Ros Wigmore, members have sensed the enormous networking value of the occasion as well as the opportunity to both see and exhibit next-generation communications systems in the era of EN54 compliance. “We have had an amazing response to our networking dinner bookings,” said Wigmore. “It seems that everyone prefers to meet up in a more informal setting before the serious business gets started.”

The two-day event takes place on 4-5 March at the Holiday Inn in Birmingham City Centre, kicking off with the dinner on the opening night.

Seminar programme
Seminar proceedings will open at 10:00 with Tony Stacey, acoustic consultant from AMS Acoustics, whose topic will be ‘Signal to amplifier to loudspeaker – I thought it would be louder‘.

Other sessions include:

11:00 Increasing the intelligibility of computer-generated text-to-speech – Cassia Valentini Botinhao, research fellow, The Centre for Speech Technology Research, University of Edinburgh

14:15 Design and supply of loudspeakers for the Royal Navy and Army – not quite your home environment – John Moore, director, Secomak
