Partnering with A3C and iStandard to present strong educational content featuring an exceptional group of industry pros who are all here to share their knowledge is a natural extension of our program. Plus, it makes for a fun, action packed weekend.”
Grammy award-winning producer Focus discovered SAE Atlanta at last year’s Pro Audio Experience, and was impressed by the school’s facilities and offerings.
“Whoever hasn’t checked out SAE needs to seriously rethink things,” says Focus, who will be a featured panelist at this year’s PAE’s forums and has worked with such artists as Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Busta Rhymes, and The Game. “The school has everything that an aspiring engineer, producer, or industry professional could ever need, and it’s the ultimate place to learn your craft.”
A3C’s Pro Audio Experience will take place from Thursday, October 9 through Saturday, October 11 at the Atlanta campus of SAE Institute, which is located at 215 Peachtree Street NE, #300. Tickets are available at retail partners across Atlanta, and online sign-up is available.
