Honoring Our Legacy
Investing in Our Future
ANNIVERSARY DONATION CAMPAIGN
About the Campaign
For 110 years, SMPTE has brought the global media technology community together. Through Standards, Education and Community, SMPTE has enabled collaboration across the industry and helped shape the technologies and practices that power the creation, distribution and experience of media worldwide.
As SMPTE launches its 110th Anniversary Campaign, the Society is both celebrating a legacy of achievement and investing in a strategic course for the future.
This campaign is about more than honoring the past. It marks the beginning of a new era of investment designed to strengthen the foundations of our industry and secure SMPTE’s next century — ensuring the organization has the resources, talent, technology and infrastructure needed to serve current and future generations of media technologists.
The industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace, from AI- and cloud-based workflows to new forms of content creation, distribution and even authenticity.
Media organizations, technology providers, creators, technologists, educators, students, and emerging leaders need a trusted place to learn, share expertise, develop talent, access knowledge, and most importantly, solve challenges together...
Our Mission
The 110th Anniversary Campaign will help position SMPTE to serve the global media technology community for the next century.
Campaign support will advance strategic initiatives that expand education and workforce development, increase access to technical knowledge, strengthen Standards development, facilitate trusted innovation in AI and emerging technologies, deepen global and local community engagement, and enhance SMPTE's long-term sustainability.
Together, these investments will ensure SMPTE has the resources, talent, tools, and operational capacity to remain the trusted convener, educator, and Standards leader for the global media technology community.
