Abstract

UKAN’s Early Career Specialist Interest Group supported the Art of Being an Acoustician event which again showed how
careers in acoustic seem to follow a winding path, but all provide interesting challenges. The second Art of Being an
Acoustician conference followed the 20th Art of Being a consultant conference, so this time, we could eat their cake!
