CONFERENCE SEEKS TO DEFINE GRAPHIC FUTURE

ACCESS Conferences International have announced that the second annual conference on Broadcast Graphics & Virtual Studios is to take place on January 29 to 30, 2001 in the Mandarin Oriental, London.
The conference sponsored by Discreet, ORAD Hi-Tec Systems and vi[z]rt is themed around 'Defining The Future Of Broadcast Production'.
Bruce Leeke, Conference Producer, said: “Identity has become everything in broadcasting. State-of-the-art virtual studio sets and broadcast graphics packages are becoming art forms in their own right. Broadcasters at the pinnacle of innovation and achievement need to be distinctive. Life in the fast lane of broadcasting demands optimum performance at a credible price.
“Key questions need to be answered however. Although the future is not easily predicted, the experiences of others can lead the way. This conference will gather the experiences of top-level innovators within the broadcast industry and filter them into a concentrated statement of intent. The event will be of interest to broadcasters, cameramen, art directors, studio managers, postproduction companies, set managers and of course broadcast technology gurus.”
Topics to be covered at the conference will include ‘Introducing Virtual Set Technology and Techniques’, ‘Broadcast Graphics: A Technological Renaissance’ and ‘Evolution: The Internet, Webcasting and Satellite.’
