Announcing the IASA Conference 2021

Announcing the IASA Conference 2021

Last year, IASA’s 2020 virtual conference successfully provided us with a wide range of experiences and new ways of interacting as a professional community. Although we all missed having a face-to-face meeting, we realised that to a great extent we can continue online to exchange ideas, projects and create new expectations for sound and audiovisual archives.

Given the ongoing uncertainties over international  travel, this year IASA’s conference will again be held online, from 27th to 30th September 2021.
