Peter Weitzel Hon sec SMPTE UK said “Two years ago when the UK section was reformed – the founding managers were very keen ensuring that we served those starting to work in our industries. We now have a very tangible means of doing this – but what is more important is for those established to meet speak and listen to those who are starting out.

SMPTE meetings are the ideal forum for anyone from any area to find out what is happening –through networking over ample refreshments as well hearing the excellent speakers and discussion”.
