How would you like to speak at one of the leading game audio conferences? GameSoundCon is currently seeking music and audio experts for panels and presentations at its event!

GameSoundCon, the premier conference for video game music and sound design, is lining up speakers for GameSoundCon 2017 on November 7 and 8 in Los Angeles, California.
