After the huge success of Tonmeistertagung 2012, all pro-audio experts are once again invited to join the German association Verband Deutscher Tonmeister (VDT) in Cologne, Germany. The media city’s Congress Centrum Nord is hosting the 28th Tonmeistertagung from November 20th to 23rd, 2014.

The Verband Deutscher Tonmeister (VDT) invites you to experience the Tonmeistertagung in Cologne again, from 17 to 20 November 2016. The exhibition is highly popular for exhibitors as well as for visitors. Gisela Jungen, whose responsibilities at VDT include planning the exhibition and organizing the Tonmeistertagung, is pleased most of all about the increase in exhibitors: “We will be presenting more than 130 exhibitors and 200 brands on an area of 2400 square meters – yet another increase over the previous Tonmeistertagung. We also noticed a virtual run on our demo rooms, which means that you as a visitor can look forward to plenty of hands-on demos.” Exhibition booths will be set up according to our tried-and-tested concept of grouping the open areas around the congress program. This keeps the distances between lectures and the exhibitors pleasantly short, and the exhibition and congress program dovetail perfectly.
