Women’s Audio Mission has scheduled WAMCon Nashville for October 30, 2026, at Ocean Way Nashville Studios, an event designed to provide hands-on training and mentorship for women and gender-expansive audio professionals. According to a report from Mixonline, the conference will feature technical demonstrations and workshops focused on vocal production, vintage Neve console operation, and Dolby Atmos immersive audio mixing.
The initiative carries significant implications for the music-products market, as the event is supported by a coalition of major manufacturers and distributors including Sweetwater, Focusrite, Meyer Sound, Solid State Logic, Shure, and Audeze. Mixonline notes that these sponsors are facilitating direct access to professional recording environments and gear, aiming to address workforce disparities where women represent less than 5% of the industry. The agenda includes specific product interactions such as instrument recording workshops and system engineering insights provided by staff from Clair Global and Ocean Way Studios. By integrating brands like Dolby and SSL into its curriculum, the conference serves as a distribution channel for manufacturers to engage directly with emerging talent and demonstrate advanced technologies to a specialized demographic of future buyers and specifiers.
