The 33rd Tonmeistertagung will bring together sound engineers, system designers, technicians, and AV professionals from across Europe in a four-day event that combines technology, training, and networking in a truly professional setting.
A key meeting point in Northern Europe
Held in Düsseldorf, the Tonmeistertagung 33 reinforces its role as a connection hub for the European audio and AV community, offering a broad perspective of the industry and fostering technical exchange and collaboration across Central and Northern Europe.
The close integration between the exhibition and the technical programme—both in content and layout—is one of the distinctive features of tmt33. Innovations are presented directly at the booths and further explored through lectures and demonstrations, creating a constant dialogue between technology, practice, and research.
