5th - 9th Sept 2017

The 20th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects was held in Edinburgh on 5th - 9th September 2017.

DAFx17 was organised by the Acoustics and Audio Group at the University of Edinburgh, and was delivered from the George Square campus in the heart of the Old Town. It featured oral and poster presentations of accepted papers, keynote addresses, tutorial lectures, demonstrations and a social program.



DAFx17 is history now, but it certainly was a great time all around. Thanks again to all the authors, sponsors, and members of the local organising committee and student volunteers. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year at DAFx18 in Aveiro, Portugal.
