Welcome to the SMPTE Hollywood Section!
SMPTE Board of Managers (2015-2017)
The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) was founded in 1916 to advance theory and development in the motion imaging field. SMPTE is an international, award-winning technical society devoted to advancing the theory and application of motion-imaging technology including film, television, video, computer imaging, and telecommunications. Our membership is made up of engineers, executives, technical directors, cameramen, editors, consultants, educators and specialists in film processing, film and television production and post-production, and practitioners from almost every other discipline in the motion-imaging industry.
The Hollywood Section serves SMPTE members in the Los Angeles Area of California. Our free monthly meetings feature technology presentations by experts in their field and the opportunity to network with other media and entertainment professionals.

Volunteers Needed for the SMPTE 2017 Technical Conference and Exhibition
The SMPTE 2017 Syposium (October 23), SMPTE 2017 Annual Technical Conference and
Exhibition (October 24-26) at the Loews Hollywood Hotel is extremely important for
SMPTE members and non-members alike. Nowhere else can you find such a broad range
of motion imaging topics covered by the world’s most innovative technology leaders.
An event of this scope requires “many hands” to produce effectively. Please consider
donating a day of your time as a volunteer. Not only will you be part of SMPTE’s flagship
conference, but you will also help to make this event a great one for your friends and
colleagues.
