The 2026 AES 6th International Automotive Audio Conference opens today at Huntington Place in Detroit.
From July 29β31, the automotive audio community gathers for a three-day program focused on βAutomotive Audio in the AI Era,β bringing together peer-reviewed papers, workshops, demonstrations, and networking.
This yearβs technical program reflects the areas now reshaping in-vehicle sound: immersive audio, software-defined vehicles, artificial intelligence, active sound management, advanced DSP, and next-generation vehicle acoustics.
For audioXpress, this is where many of the industryβs most important conversations are taking place: cabin-centric listening, AI-driven audio systems, sound as part of the vehicle experience, and the evolving role of audio in safety, comfort, personalization, and mobility.
audioXpress is proud to support the event and will be following the discussions, demonstrations, and technical developments emerging from Detroit.
