Speaking of registration, there’s still time to register for the Biggest Virtual Production Show Ever on August 3^rd! Those attending in-person will have a front row seat to an amazing spectacle, including live performances, demonstrations, and seminars, all of which showcase the power of virtual production. There are two shows, so join us for the afternoon or the evening performance!

Registration is also now open for the September SMPTE Technology Committee meetings in Paris, France! The Technology Committee meetings are vital to SMPTE, as it’s the first step to tackling major industry issues. The best part is that the meetings take place right after IBC, so those attending both events only have to pay for one set of tickets! Different projects will be assigned to different committees, in-person meetings will help delegate work, and all of it happens within the beautiful city of lights.

Want to register for another event? Well SMPTE Hollywood is making your dream come true! A few weeks ago, they hosted the 2023 HBO Camera Assessment Series Screening. The event was so well received that they’re doing it again this Saturday the 29^th! The program begins after a one-hour networking reception. You don’t want to miss this!

That’s it for this week’s SMPTE Sum-Up. For more information on past and current events, standards projects, and webcasts, visit our website. See you next week!
