✨ Newark history meets innovation ✨
We're opening the doors to the Audible Innovation Cathedral for quarterly tours in 2026!
This 80,000 sq ft space has quite the story: built in 1933 as a church turned community headquarters for the non-profit Women in Support of the Million Man March (WISSOM), the Cathedral was lovingly restored by Audible in 2019, and is now a state-of-the-art tech workspace that still preserves its original stained-glass windows, organ pipes, and yes—a bowling alley. 🎳
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how we've transformed this historical Newark landmark into a cornerstone of the city's innovation ecosystem.
📆 2026 Tour Dates (all Fridays at 5pm): • February 20 • May 15 • August 14 • November 13
FREE admission | Pre-registration required | Photo ID needed

15 Years of ACX. 🧡
In 2011, we launched ACX to make audiobook creation accessible to everyone. 15 years later, we’ve helped bring hundreds of thousands of stories to life.
To celebrate, we captured messages from ACX creators—thanking listeners, celebrating the community, and sharing their love for ACX.
Thank you to every author, narrator, publisher, and creator who’s been part of this journey. You make ACX what it is. Here's to 15 more years. 🎙🎊
Rooms like this are how ecosystems are built. 🚀
We recently co-hosted and sponsored #NewarkVentureDay with @investnewark , @newarkalliance60 and @Prudential . It was a day that proved what we’ve known since moving our HQ here in 2007: Newark isn’t just a place to build—it’s *the* place.
Founders, VCs, and ecosystem builders gathered for honest conversations about what it takes to grow companies with purpose, like “Main Character Energy: Building in Newark”, with industry leaders from @newjerseyeda , Prudential, and @njiilife and more.
Thank you to everyone who came out!
Our ACX team had a blast at VO Atlanta 2026 connecting with narrators and voice over actors, answering questions, and hearing what's on creators mind as they build their audiobook careers. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth for your invaluable feedback! 🧡🎧
