Trade Show for Our Friends South of the Border
Our Latin American colleagues have Expo Soundcheck 2005 March 15-17 at the WTC in Mexico City. It’s presented by Soundcheck Magazine, probably the most popular audio/ production periodical in the Latin market. I did an interveiw with them last year though I have no idea what it said.
