Web Audio Conference 2025

The 9th Web Audio Conference (10 years), co-organized by Ircam and Mozilla, will be held between the 19-21 November 2025 in Paris, France.

WAC is an international conference dedicated to web audio technologies and applications. The conference addresses academic research, artistic research, development, design, evaluation and standards concerned with emerging audio-related web technologies such as Web Audio API, Web RTC, WebSockets and Javascript.

The conference welcomes web developers, music technologists, computer musicians, application designers, industry engineers, R&D scientists, academic researchers, artists, students and people interested in the fields of web development, music technology, computer music, audio applications and web standards.

Web Audio Conferences were previously held in 2015 at IRCAM and Mozilla in Paris, in 2016 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, in 2017 at the Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London in London, in 2018 at TU Berlin in Berlin, in 2019 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, in 2021 at Universitat Pompeu Fabra and SonoSuite, Barcelona, Spain (virtual event), in 2022 at Université Côte d'Azur, Cannes, France and in 2024 at Perdue University, US.

For this 10 year anniversary, the proposed theme "Hacking and Making with Web Audio", is intended to invite scholars, researchers, developers, designers and artists to explore and engage with new usage of the Web Audio API across various disciplines and contexts. In particular, we will welcome original contributions that re-question and propose novel use of Web and Audio technologies, e.g. in their relation to more traditional music technologies and ecosystem, with or without the Internet or mixing paradigms such as mobile or IoT technologies.
