SMPTE is a biennial conference and exhibition held in the Australian Region with a comprehensive educational program. This year the event is returning to Moore Park, where the first inaugural event took place and we've interviewed Adam Buick, the event's manager, to learn more about the show and all the novelties they are getting ready for us.
Which are the novelties for the next edition?
This year’s SMPTE Conference & Exhibiton will once again feature the latest products and services available to broadcast, sound and motion imaging industries. For the first time ever, it will feature the Australian Drone Expo – which will showcase the latest drone technology and provide information relating the latest regulations regarding drone use.
Reasons to visit SMPTE?
SMPTE is the premier event for the motion imaging and television engineering industries in the Australasian region. SMPTE’s biennial Conference and Exhibition is the pre-eminent event for suppliers, technologists and content creators in the motion-imaging, sound and broadcast industries. Maintain your competitive edge through exposure to the latest technologies, workflows and creative tools; and through ideas, key trends and case studies in the Conference program – only SMPTE has it all in one place.
What is the visitors profile?
Visitors are drawn from all segments of the industry encompassing the traditional industries: television, motion picture and film, broadcast and video production, plus emerging new technologies. More and more, we are seeing visitors from non-traditional sectors such as government, universities, venues and church groups who are interested in producing and distributing their own content.
And the exhibitors profile?
Exhibitors represent a broad cross-section of the industry, including showings from the sectors of Acquisition & Production, Post-Production, Management & Systems, Delivery & Distribution, Telecommunications, Displays, Content & Programming, Radio and Industry Resources.
