Message from the Executive Director
Frederick C. Motts · SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal · 2003
g 3 30 07 7 O n the facing page, Ed Hobson reports on SMPTE's Digital Rights Management Seminar at IBC2003.It was indeed successful, and we were very pleased with this event.Ed mentions the other educational seminars SMPTE holds throughout the year, and these, too, are certainly not to be missed.In addition, and as a reminder, SMPTE holds two major conferences of its own during the year.One of them is the upcoming Technical Conference and Exhibition, being held November 12-15 at the Hilton New York (see page 310 for more information).This issue of the Journal is our Conference issue, which will be handed out to all who attend the conference.For those who receive this issue prior to the conference, we invite you to register and join us, or come to our onsite registration.For those reading this at the conference, thanks for being here, and we look forward to presenting you with the latest information on a vast array of cutting-edge topics in motion imaging.Interestingly, Ed Hobson's message this month reflects the importance of the information SMPTE delivers, and Tom Jordan's message last month, explained how managers may be underestimating the importance of sending their staff to events like SMPTE's Technical Conference.It is apparent that in order for you to see the value of attending our events, some FAQ'ing might be necessary.So, here's a SMPTE Technical Conference FAQ for you.Read it for yourself, or show it to your managers.-
