While SMPTE’s Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition is already well-established as the world’s premier forum for the exploration of media and entertainment technology, SMPTE 2016 will also celebrate the Society’s 100th anniversary. Taking place at the Hollywood and Highland Center, the event will fill two exhibit halls, multiple session rooms, and feature a SMPTE Centennial Exhibit, beer garden, and a series of special events culminating with the SMPTE Centennial Gala, hosted in the Ray Dolby Ballroom on Oct. 28.

“Every step along the media chain is evolving at a rapid pace, and SMPTE’s centennial year is an ideal time to explore the path we’ve taken so far, as well as the new and emerging technologies that will drive us forward,” said SMPTE Education Vice President Pat Griffis. “With a growing slate of world-renowned technology thought-leaders presenting, SMPTE 2016 offers attendees unparalleled opportunities for professional development, relationship building, and ‘mind sharing.’ At the same time, a fabulous array of centennial-focused special events promises to add a new level of excitement and energy to the overall event.”

SMPTE 2016 conference sessions will address topics including ultra high definition TV (UHDTV), high-frame-rate (HFR) imaging, and wide color gamut (WCG); color management; file workflows and formats; broadcast and IT-based networked media infrastructure; cloud media architectures; new distribution modalities; security; display technologies; audio; new cinema technologies and formats; image processing; asset management and storage; virtual reality (VR); compression; and diversity in the media workforce.
