About the dBx Conference: From inception, Decibel as an organization has prided itself on providing technology-based arts education to the public. Over the years, the dB Conference has played a significant role in fostering emerging talent while bridging the gap between the music industry and festival attendees. The 2013 3-day dB Conference was our most ambitious and thought provoking to date. Each day was packed with world-renowned artists and producers, giants from gaming and lighting, live demonstrations, and a few heated debates. With the addition of EMP, we anticipate 2014 to be our largest and most complete dB Conference ever. This year we’ll be increasing the focus on visual arts education, audio workshops, films, product demos, and hands on interaction with hardware and software companies looking to expand their audience.
