The 2012 Audio Loudness Management Series will kick off with the first one-day seminar scheduled for August 23, 2012 in Chicago. The event is being hosted by WTTW PBS.

Speakers slated for the event include Pat Waddell (Harmonic), Jim Starzynski (NBC Universal), Tim Carroll (Linear Acoustic), Steve Lyman (Dolby Labs), Steve Silva (Fox), Dave Higgins (Comcast Cable) and Graham Jones (Fraunhofer USA). All are industry experts and active participants in audio working groups within the ATSC.
