Catalyst Connect returns for its second year, and in this episode, we will hear from those that help to make it happen. We are joined by Catalyst Acoustics Group CEO Charles Merrimon, Group Presidents Jeremy Cantor and James Hou, and Channel Alliance Manager Eric McNeal on what makes this year's event worth the trip, along with Aaron Duncan of Sound Seal and Mike Merry of Frasch on what their brands are bringing to the show floor.

We also get a preview of this year's speaking sessions from the presenters themselves: Andrew Polte of IAC Acoustics, James Thomas of Noise Barriers, Ben Vause and Ben Hickey of Kinetics Noise Control and RealAcoustix, and Eric Wolfram of Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories.

Catalyst Connect takes place Wednesday, October 14 in Columbus, Ohio, featuring CEU and technical presentations, a tour of the Kinetics Noise Control manufacturing facility, and tabletop displays from every brand in the Catalyst family, and it's completely free to attend.
