Project Bar-B-Q is an intense conference held annually on a ranch
resort in the central Texas hill country. This year's event will be held
October 16-19, 2008, at Canyon
of the Eagles, on beautiful Lake Buchanan.
The goal of Project Bar-B-Q is
INFLUENCING AUDIO HARDWARE &
SOFTWARE
OVER THE NEXT 5 YEARS
To this end, three to five groups are formed, each consisting of hardware developers, software developers, audio engineers, composers, and tech executives. Each group tackles a problem that has been identified as one of the industry's most important, spending two days of facilitated brainstorming to formulate its best shot at a solution. The result of this work is the annual BBQ report.
