FILM AND TELEVISION HISTORY DAY!
Our
entertainment technology industry—film, video, and audio—helped
shape the 20th Century and will continue to define the 21st. Old or
young, you're a part of that history! Stories from those early days
offer as much fun as the entertainment our equipment and techniques
helped produce. Join us for some great sessions covering, among many
topics, videotape recording, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary
this year, kinescope video-on-film that preceded the VTR, Vitaphone
"talking pictures," probably one of the most important breakthroughs of
all time, and other topics like color TV, videotape editing, cameras,
and microphones. Some of the pioneers who made it happen will share
their memories with us. The Hollywood Section's access to a treasure
trove of classic gear for our "mini-museum" will make this a
"don't-miss" event!

SMPTE Student Event!
All members,
especially students, are invited to our special student event, as SMPTE
once again underscores the importance of our next generation of motion
imaging professionals.

Special Events
Don't miss our special events, giving you a chance to
network, meet new colleagues, and just maybe, have some fun!
