For our second in-person event of the year, we’re delighted to be in Edinburgh for the launch of Audiotrain in Scotland.

The event will be a brilliant opportunity to learn about the latest developments in the Audiotrain programme, hear from a really fantastic lineup of guest speakers and of course connect with fellow AudioUK members as well as the wider podcast and audio communities in Edinburgh over drinks and networking.

The event is free to attend. To book your place, please email juliette.nicholls@audiouk.org.uk. We’d also encourage you to share details with anyone in your network who might benefit.
