Denmark is a proud sound nation and sits in an international position of strength within both sound technology and products. It is a position that obliges.

If we are to maintain such a leading position, it is absolutely necessary to keep up with the times, the technological development and the users' constantly changing needs and user behaviour. We have to take on that task as a group if the individual is to be able to fulfill his long-term goals and the great demand we see in the audio industry. In concrete terms, we in the audio industry face a demographic challenge.

How can we adapt to the needs of the younger generation?
This networking group is an attempt to meet these needs of the growing community of audio producers. We unearth some of the great success stories, get the actors themselves to speak and use the case for inspiration and presentations for discussion.

There will be plenty of opportunity to share your own success and failure stories within e.g. storytelling, branding, sustainability, product and production optimisation, just as major actors from other industries will be invited in to share knowledge and experience. We want to create a healthy and confidential environment where there is room to share dreams, hopes and concerns in everything from vision to production.

Audience

The network group is for founders, managers, strategists, product specialists, product managers, branding and marketing experts. You come from a company that produces headphones, headsets, microphones, speakers or hi-fi hardware. You can also be a subcontractor to other manufacturers. The network is for you who are ambitious, curious and ambitious on behalf of both yourself and the industry and for you who are driven by innovation, development and community. You enter the network with a desire to share knowledge and experiences with like-minded people.
