ASA School 2022
Overview
ASA is very pleased to announce the return of ASA School after an extended and unexpected pause! ASA School 2022 will be held 21-22 May 2022 at the Hilton Denver Inverness Hotel in Englewood, CO immediately preceding the ASA spring meeting in Denver.
ASA School 2022 is the Acoustical Society of America event for graduate students and early career acousticians in all areas of acoustics to learn about and discuss a wide variety of topics related to the interdisciplinary theme Living in the Acoustic Environment. ASA School 2022 follows on the success of four previous ASA Schools starting in 2012, and will provide opportunities for meeting faculty and fellow students, mentoring, discussing research topics, and developing collaborations and professional relationships within acoustics.
ASA School 2022 is a two-day course with a program that includes presentations by prominent acousticians, roundtables, demonstrations, and discussion groups to expand on the lecture materials and to foster communication across disciplines and technical areas of acoustics. Social events, including a Friday evening welcome reception, two breakfasts and two lunches, and Saturday evening dinner, provide an informal atmosphere for social exchange and further discussions. For more insight, see Acoustics Today articles on ASA School 2012 and ASA School 2016.
ASA School 2022 gratefully acknowledges and thanks it sponsors for their generous support
