AES Membership Month Extends AES Milan Registration, Opens NY 2018 Housing, Updates Refer-a-Friend

	The Power of Sound - AES Milan 2018

The month of May is membership month for the Audio Engineering Society, with early opening of housing availability for AES New York 2018; AES Milan 2018 advance registration with its deep discounts for members extended; and a revamp of the society's "refer-a-friend" program.

Everyone wins with the new AES refer-a-friend program -- the referring member and the new or lapsed renewing member each receive independent discount credits of 10% of the membership fee. Accumulated discount credits can be used toward anything that can be purchased at aes.org, including AES products, services, event registration, and membership dues. Details are available at aes.org/membership/referrals.

From May 1 through May 15, 2018, before AES NY 2018 advance registration opens on May 16, members also have exclusive access to housing registration for AES New York 2018, slated for the Jacob Javits Center, October 17 - 19 for the exhibition and October 17 - 20 for the technical program. This benefit allows members the opportunity to secure the best available rooms and pricing. The housing registration link is linked from the member discount page: secure.aes.org/members/discounts.
