The Audio Engineering Society Carolinas Section will present the Professionals & Educators Audio Konference (PEAK) Summit on July 23-26 at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, billed as a weekend for audio professionals, industry educators and manufacturers to come together for extensive hands-on equipment and software training, studio sessions and shoot-outs, build-your-own workshops, vendor networking, and educator talks.

This unique event brings audio manufacturers to the Carolinas for an intimate setting, providing ample time for one-on-one conversations in the Vendor Lounge, small group training sessions, and opportunities to power up your vertical learning on specific gear. In the evenings, At the AES Night Club, members burn the midnight oil in the studios, participating in private sessions with musicians, engineers, producers, and recently released products. 

The event will take place in and around the Robert F. Gilley Studio, Broyhill Music Center, at Appalachian State University.
