Last year, I ran a survey on how immersive audio is being used in Latin America. Far more people responded than I expected—sparking two articles y many conversations I hadn’t anticipated.

What became clear is simple: there are a lot of people working in this space, from very different backgrounds, and we barely know each other.

NODE26 is born out of that. I have connections across different areas of the field, and I believe they need to meet. The idea is to come together, see what everyone is working on, and identify what’s missing and where we can support each other.
