Within this past week we received notice from the general contractor that is completing the venue which is hosting 440 that there is a significant delay and it is very likely the space will not be available for our event / experience on the 2-3 of July.  We took a few days to assess the situation, evaluate other venues and came to the conclusion that we should postpone the event in order to preserve the integrity of the 440 experience and also allow those, especially in North America, who could not come due to schedule conflicts, an opportunity to attend.  We are currently searching for the ideal date and will be announcing it later this year. Your input on an ideal date is welcome!

For those of you whom have already applied and been accepted, your acceptance / credentials will be honored for the new date of the symposium.

I apologize for any scheduling conflicts this may cause for our guests.  Please let us know if there is any way we can ensure that the new date of the symposium works for as many of our approved guests as possible.

We are very excited to select a new date for the symposium and get the most brilliant innovators and doers in the sonic world in one room for a fantastic, world-class experience.

Sonically yours,
Paul Anthony | Creator and Host 440
