Audio Engineering Society Announces 2026 AES Show In Nashville

The Audio Engineering Society (AES) has announced that the 2026 AES Show will take place from October 30 to November 1 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Building on decades of international audio events, AES Show Nashville promises new programming that goes beyond the traditional scope of previous conventions. Attendees and exhibitors can look forward to pre-show experiences, studio tours, and opportunities to engage with Nashville’s vibrant local audio community. The event aims to highlight both the city's rich musical heritage and the cutting-edge science and innovations that keep AES at the forefront of audio technology.

Nashville, often called 'Music City', is renowned for its concentration of world-class studios, live music venues, leading audio education institutions, pro audio manufacturers, engineers, and artists. The city hosts major record labels, music awards, film and TV scoring studios, live sound venues, and broadcast facilities, creating an ecosystem where music creation and production are integral to daily life.

The AES Show will also leverage the unique offerings of the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, located steps from the iconic Opry House, home to the Grand Ole Opry—the longest-running live radio broadcast in U.S. history, which began in 1925 on WSM Radio. Specially-priced hotel and registration packages will provide attendees and exhibitors with a convenient and immersive way to experience the event alongside industry peers.
