In addition there will be presentations from Blackmagic Design, Adobe and Thomson/Grass Valley. Plus filmmakers from around the world will show off their work and tell us how they did it.

That not enough? There will be at least a dozen vendors at the SuperMeet showing off their hardware and software.

There will be food and drink and VJ and music and of course, our World Famous Raffle where we will give away thousands of dollars worth of prizes to dozens of lucky people.
