Audio Forum FIL
Approaching the Spanish-Language Publishing Industry to Audio Formats
The 2024 Audio FIL Forum is a space for bringing the Spanish-language publishing industry closer to audio formats. With an extensive program, we propose interdisciplinary discussions through panels and exhibitions featuring globally recognized experts in various audio specialties.
In light of the rapid evolution of the audio industry, this edition of the Audio Forum aims to be a meeting point for professionals focused on the creation, production, distribution, and expansion of Spanish-language audio content. We facilitate information exchange, networking, experiences, business opportunities, and strategies among our experts, companies, and invited audience.
This forum is designed for the interests of various stakeholders in both traditional and digital publishing with prior knowledge or seeking an initial approach to audio formats: editors, authors, consultants, audio distribution and consumption platforms, digital distributors, rights agencies, industry associations, broadcasters, production studios, creators, and professionals.
