Hi Gary,

Thanks for sharing this and for all the work going into organizing the Education Conference in San Diego – it sounds fantastic, and the focus on in‑depth academic content is very appealing.

By way of introduction, I’m currently a lecturer in audio and music production at PXL-Music in Belgium. From March through July 2027, I’ll be teaching at UC Riverside, so I should be relatively close by for the conference.

Would it be interesting or useful for the program if I contributed a talk or session comparing aspects of audio/music education in Europe and the US, and some of the differences I’ve observed, possibly in curricula, pedagogy, and institutional context?

Best,
