aLL cAN ATTEND
TC Meetings are open to all members of the SMPTE Standards Community and more recently, we decided to also allow guests to participate in the meeting free of charge.
Once you register as a guest, watch for an automated email which you will be asked to engage with. It will be an agreement to follow the SMPTE meetings policy.
Why Attend? If you participate with us, you will:
-
Contribute to the entire Media & Entertainment industry through the projects we'll work on
-
Represent an industry consensus on new technology before it is adopted by users, integrators, and manufacturers
-
Experience direct insight into the development of technology which may impact the work you do at your company in the future
-
Learn about new projects or how to start your own
-
Communicate your requirements so that features you may need are included in the technology under development
