"The most helpful thing from SMPTE has been the online Imaging Science Fundamentals class, which is great for those with backgrounds that are more creative, less hard-core. I appreciate how SMPTE's Education offerings are focused on the resources people actually want."

"It is very easy to feel like you belong in this group of very smart people. That was part of the attraction to me, to be able to interact with and understand and learn from all these really smart people that were building and designing the standards and the equipment that I was working with. But there's also a fellowship component, the membership and education components."
Kylee Pena

"SMPTE has been great for creating a base of knowledge to understand all the stuff that comes after figuring out the beginning of your career. And it's been helpful to meet people I can call on if I run into issues and need help – technically or in my career."
