NYC Adobe Event – May 29
Dennis Radeke is organizer of the Adobe event later this month on May 29 near B&H at the New Yorker Hotel’s Crystal Ballroom on the 2nd floor. There will be two sessions, 11am-3:30pm and 3:30pm-8pm.
From Dennis’ Blog, The Genesis Project:
Additionally, rather than have the event be static where you sit and we talk, it is a twofold event. In one area, you’ll have a large room where many of the vendors will present their products and workflows throughout the day in rapid fire 20 minute presentations. I hope that one of the highlights to these 20 minute demos will be a 20 minute technology preview demo of some stuff we’re working on that I think you will find VERY helpful.
The event will have onsite representation from Adobe, AJA, Blackmagic Design, B&H, CalDigit, DigiEffects, GenArts, GridIron, Matrox, Maxon, MOTU, Wacom and Zoomin Online (aka Magnet Media).
They’re giving away LOADS of prizes from these sponsors too. If you’re in NYC at the end of May, this is a free event. Don’t miss it. Register now!
