On September 15th & 16th 2022, Sonic College is hosting Sonic Days for the first time:
Two days of exciting panel debates, case studies, and last but not least, an obvious opportunity to meet colleagues from the industry.
We want to attract guests from the Nordic sound industry. In collaboration with manufacturers and suppliers, we have created a program through which some of the smartest people in the industry will share their knowledge through inspiring panel debates as well as case studies. In addition to this, there will be presentations of products and technologies.
This is also a great opportunity to see the new facilities at Sonic College: The new campus is located centrally in Kolding, Denmark – and might have the best facilities for educating sound designers in the world.
