Beyond iLok: Advanced Code Protection and Cryptography for the Next Generation

You may know PACE Anti-Piracy as “the iLok company,” as well as the parent company of JUCE and ADC, but behind iLok lies four decades of world-class software security. Celebrating our 40th anniversary, PACE continues to evolve its mission: building trust between developers and users through advanced cryptography, anti-reverse engineering technology, and white-box protection.

In this session, we’ll take you behind the scenes of PACE’s security architecture — from the foundations of White-Box Works and Fusion to the upcoming Fusion 6 release. We’ll explore new advancements in native code hardening, obfuscation, and anti-tamper defenses, along with a look at Fusion AI, our latest innovation for protecting embedded AI models.

Join us for a deep dive into how PACE’s suite of tools helps developers secure applications, plug-ins, and AI systems — ensuring your software is used exactly as you intended. We’ll wrap up with a live Fusion Insight demo and a Q&A on practical approaches to modern software protection.

Film screening: 6SENSE

Grab yourself some lunch and join us for a screening of 6SENSE in the Concorde Suite, Lower Ground Floor (via stairs or lift).

6SENSE tells the story of a groundbreaking gqom music producer whose extraordinary journey from rural South Africa to international acclaim is both inspiring and transformative. The self-narrated hybrid documentary explores Mxshi Mo’s early life in the rural foothills of the Drakensberg mountains, South Africa. The film poignantly delves into his realisation around his loss of sight and his discovery of electronic dance music as a way to connect with the outside world – shining a light on a potential path out of his personal darkness.

Followed by Q&A with Mxshi Mo hosted by Astrid Bin.

Check out the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ0BI9AmXHs

Accessibility in Audio Meet-up

As audio production techniques and technologies evolve, so too must the ways we think about accessibility. To ensure all musicians can use the tools available, it is essential that access is evaluated throughout their design, not as an add-on or afterthought.

This meet-up seeks to bring together developers with an interest in accessibility, musicians with disabilities, and organisations driving change in the audio and music industries.

Join us live on the final day of ADC25 to hear accessibility highlights from across the event. Meet members of Sound Without Sight and the MIDI Association’s Music Accessibility Special Interest Group for an informal chat:

  • Learn about new accessibility innovations
  • Chat through ideas and share knowledge
  • Find out how to connect with community members who can provide feedback on your products

Head over to the Sound Without Sight space in the George pub in Gather Town, or log in here to access a link to join Zoom directly below.

Anyone attending ADC 25 can get the link by logging into their account on this website.
