Audiovisual, interactive and mobile media interweave with our everyday life. In almost all our areas of life, they change our behavior and a↵ect our perception, thinking and feeling. The 'Forum Media Technology (FMT)' is a scientific event that aims for an intensive dialogue of experts working at agencies, studios and production companies with students, lecturers, researchers and developers in the field of digital media. In its 9th edition, the Forum Media Technology was held on November 23-24, 2016 at St. P¨olten University of Applied Sciences, Austria. In conjunction with the main conference, the 2nd edition of the trans-disciplinary symposium 'All Around Audio (AAA)' as well as the 1st edition of the new format 'Graduate Consortium' were part of the two day program. Although, audio has not abandoned its status as a standalone discipline, its trans-disciplinary participation at the conception and design of products and environments has become more and more essential. In this sense, All Around Audio not only addresses specialists in the audio domain but particularly encourages researchers and designers from other fields to participate in the symposium. In its second edition, 16 international speakers were invited for talks on a wide spectrum of topics reaching from media economy, audio technology, auditory display to music and media arts.
