From November 13th to 16th, 2008, the TONMEISTERTAGUNG will returned to the Congress Center Leipzig. The VDT convention (German Tonmeister Association) also features an exhibition and takes place in a biennial cycle. The Saxon city will now hosted this international pro audio event for the third time now.

TMT25!
25 conventions in almost 60 years – these figures represent an impressive development. Starting in 1949 with the first member meeting of an ambitious new professional association for sound engineers, the International Tonmeister Convention has now become one of the most important congresses of the professional audio and media industry. Every two years the convention offers a profound insight into the latest trends in product development, research and practical application.

NEW PERSPECTIVES The hallmark "Tonmeistertagung", which has remained unchanged throughout the decades, has ever since guaranteed high expertise and technical qualification in a diverse program range. However, especially during the last years, it has also become a symbol of openness towards a variety of new professional groups and spheres of action that have emerged in connection with the state-of-the-art technologies and work flows of modern audio, event and media production.

Today the TONMEISTERTAGUNG has become a top-class meeting for specialists, although certified professional sound engineers working in music and spoken-word production are not the only target audience. Moreover, the convention also offers valuable perspectives and impulses to audio professionals from many more fields, emphasizing on practical information for their every-day work.
Next to established fields such as broadcasting, film, video or recording production, this includes also interactive media, distribution and program exchange, stage and event, production of hardware and software, research and development, and education and training.
