SMPTE conference dates and theme announced

The SMPTE Australia Section has launched the theme for its 2003 Conference and Exhibition, which is “Bridges Between the Islands – Connecting Technologies/Merging Cultures.”

The conference theme will explore practical, real world ways of bringing together the traditional Moving Image world and that of Information Technology.

SMPTE has put out a call for conference papers around the theme. The scope of the papers has been redefined with the Society seeking not only traditional papers aimed at broadcasting, radio, audio and post-production, but also papers covering four new areas – production, IT, Visual effects and digital film.

The conference is being held July 1-4, at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia.
