The AANA Spring Noise Conference consists of 1 day of workshops & training sessions, and 2 1/2 days of plenary & technical sessions. The purpose of the Spring Noise Conference is to provide a forum for industry, government, public, academics and acoustical professionals worldwide to share experiences and innovations in environmental and occupational noise identification, measurement, regulation and control. As with our previous conferences, we place a specific emphasis on practical and applicable aspects of acoustical science, rather than the theoretical aspects which are well covered at other forums.

• Industrial & Occupational: Facility Controls, Workplace Considerations, Environmental Assessment
• Heavy Industry: Mining, Resource Development, Oil & Gas (Conventional/Unconventional)
• Transportation/Infrastructure/Manufacturing
• Power Generation (Conventional & Alternative)
• Architectural/Community/Public Health
• Ecology, Environment & Wildlife
• Noise Modelling & Measurement Techniques
• Noise Regulations, Standards & Policies
• Vibration & Low Frequency Noise

Please refer to the Submissions page for further information on Abstract, Paper and Presentation submissions.

Technical workshops and training sessions will be offered on Tuesday, May 24 2011. The technical program and plenary sessions will run from Wednesday morning May 25 through Friday May 27 at noon. There will be a reception on Wednesday evening at the Banff Springs Hotel to provide networking opportunities for the delegates. Excursion opportunities for delegates & guests are anticipated to be scheduled during the conference dates, as the conference dates draw closer further information on excursions will be posted.
