Welcome to SMPTE Pittsburgh

Join Our Friends List Section Managers
IMPORTANT UPDATE CONCERNING THE PITTSBURGH SECTION:

Due to dwindling Membership, low event turnout, no volunteers coming forward to fill four (4) Manager positions, and other related factors, the Section Managers of SMPTE Pittsburgh Section voted earlier this year to place the Section on Inactive Status. Many conversations and ideas were discussed with SMPTE HQ to preserve our Section, but none were deemed feasible. Yesterday (17 August 2023) the SMPTE HQ Board voted to dissolve the SMPTE Pittsburgh Section. It is with heavy hearts we share this following announcement sent today to the remaining Members from HQ, who helped grow us from zero in 2014 to a peak of about 100 Members. We wish all of you well, and hope to see you around town.

Warm Regards,
Your Section Managers

Bill Bennett
Final Chair, SMPTE Pittsburgh 

Dear Pittsburgh colleagues,

As requested, the Pittsburgh Section has been dissolved, and your Section membership will be moved to the Ohio Section. As a member, you can attend Section events anywhere in the world since many events are online only, or they are streamed.  

To find out about other Section events, just visit the SMPTE website at https://www.smpte.org/events.    Or you can sign up to get notifications from other Sections by adding those sections to list of requested emails at https://www.smpte.org/subscribe. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at membership@smpte.org.

Thank you for your support of SMPTE!

Best regards,

Rose Lockwood
Membership VP

The Pittsburgh Section of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers is dedicated to developing understanding, education, enlightenment, camaraderie and professional & career development for our region and beyond, as related to motion imaging, insuring media interoperability throughout the creative, distribution and display process. Further, SMPTE Pittsburgh seeks to be the bridge between the diverse media communities and educational institutions, research organizations, and companies engaged in professional media of all types to further enhance the region’s importance and reputation.

Unfortunately due to low registration numbers, our March 15th event at Haddad's has been cancelled. We hope to reschedule at a time when more people can attend.
