If you are in our around the Nashville Tennessee area this coming Tuesday, October 2nd and have some time between 2:00 pm and 9:00 pm then you might be interested in the CineFlow Digital Media Expo. It’s being presented by our friends at CineSys and Quantum. It looks like a mini NAB with an afternoon and evening of exhibits and panels. I’ll be a part of the 5:30 PM Post Production Workflow panel. Best of all it’s free … and there will be a raffle.
The event will take place at the Hilton Garden Inn (Google Map) and will include exhibits from Quantum, Active Storage, AJA, AvaStor, B4M, Cache-A, Canon, Cinedeck, ?CineManix, Imagine Products, Nexidia, Telestream and TV Logic.
From the CineFlow Expo website:
Learn about file based workflows from industry experts and members of Nashville’s TV & Film and Production Community, and how to take your workflow to the next level. Whether you’re in Production, Post, or Engineering, there’s a session for everyone.
This event features three panel discussions with special guests including Encore Media, The EditBlog, Rock Creative, CMT, Northstar, WTVF, Red Epic, Canon C300 Workflow, and RTM Productions. Hear about their challenges and learn from their successes in this open and insightful forum moderated by former VP of Emerging Technologies at Turner Studios, Bill Chapman.
Also participating in our panels are our sponsors, who will also have exhibits and representatives available to answer your questions about the trends and technology available today that will help improve your workflow efficiency.
Exhibits will be open from 2:00 pm – 9:00 pm.
