DESCRIPTION:Human-Centered Approaches to Audio Development\n\nADCx Copenha
 gen 2026 takes place at Aalborg University's Copenhagen campus on April 28
 \, 2026. Created by engineers and researchers across the Danish audio and 
 software space in collaboration with the international Audio Developer Con
 ference network\, it is a focused technical meeting point for everyone wor
 king with digital audio technology.\nThis first edition puts a strong emph
 asis on human-centered approaches to audio software development.\nOur spea
 kers will explore both the algorithms themselves - real-time raytraced aco
 ustics\, neural voice effects\, polyBLEP anti-aliasing\, granular synthesi
 s - as well as everything that has to be built around them: visual and int
 eraction design\, distribution\, patent strategy\, and the collaborative i
 nfrastructure that connects audio developers to the people they build for 
 - and to each other.\nImplementation-wise\, the program spans a wide range
  of technologies - from traditional workhorses like C++ with JUCE\, to Rus
 t with Tauri\, Pharo Smalltalk\, Web Audio\, and Max/MSP\, as well as hard
 ware platforms such as ESP32 and FPGA - a reminder of just how diverse the
  audio technology landscape has become.\nUnderneath all of this runs a sin
 gle conviction: DSP and algorithms are where audio software starts\, but f
 or it to matter to the people who use it\, it has to extend further - into
  design\, accessibility\, ethics\, craft\, and community. A human-centered
  approach can take many forms: software inspired by human musical practice
 \, tools designed with end users in mind rather than around them\, interfa
 ces that invite play rather than demand expertise\, granular instruments b
 uilt around the performer's attention rather than parameter exposure\, plu
 g-in GUIs treated as the first three seconds of a musical encounter\, or c
 ommunity protocols built natively into the tools people already use. The k
 eynote - Designing Musical Interactions through Performance-led Inquiry an
 d Accessibility - anchors this direction by drawing on co-creation with di
 sabled artists and makers\, proposing the body itself as both interface an
 d site of knowledge.\nThroughout the day\, there will also be opportunitie
 s for networking\, a guided visit of AAU's Wave Field Synthesis Lab\, and 
 a dedicated Q&A session with the JUCE Team.\nEvening event\nBut wait! Ther
 e's more...\nAfter the talks\, we continue the discussions at a local wine
  bar within walking distance of the venue. Dinner\, drinks\, informal demo
 s\, music\, and plenty of time to actually talk to people.\nThe evening is
  meant to be fun and more than a standard conference dinner. If you'd like
  to contribute a short demo\, performance\, or other fun stuff\, get in to
 uch.\nSeparate ticket required: Dinner party tickets here!Note on ticket 
 pricesIndie/Academia tickets are reserved for attendees in organizations 
 with 3 or fewer members and for full-time researchers/educators at academi
 c institutions.Student tickets are reserved for full-time students with a 
 valid student identity card.\n \n
