The Conservatory was out in force with President Kirt Hamm, Director of Admissions John McJunkin and Associate Director of Education-to-be, Kevin Becka attending the show. Trade shows offer the school the opportunity to see what's new in audio, and also forge new and maintain old relationships with many top-notch audio manufacturers. It's also a time to catch up with former students who now work with many of the movers and shakers in audio, such as Waves, Tascam, Studio Network Solutions and many more.
Kirt Hamm sums it up well by saying, "At the Conservatory, we take pride in our dedication to making sure students learn using the latest cutting-edge gear. By building our curriculum around the best in audio, we assure our graduates a firm footing in the marketplace. Conventions such as NAB, NAMM and AES showcase the lastest in audio gear. That's why we go, we want to stay current so we can provide our students the best audio education possible."
