On October 1, 2011 the Visual Effects Society will present their third Production Summit in Beverly Hills with the theme “Trending the Global Marketplace: You Are Here”. fxguide has covered the previous Production Summits (see related content links) and found them to be quality events that provide a high level discussion about issues that affect the visual effects business.
The Keynote address is by Bob Pisano – President and COO, Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), other speakers include Tom Wujec – Autodesk Fellow who will discuss “The Democratization Of Technology: What’s Happening In Other Industries And What’s Next” and Tony Wible discussing “big picture trends and economics of the film/entertainment business.” At previous events these kinds of talks have been extremely powerful and force participants to focus more on the future than our daily routine often allows time for.
This year the Summit is being held at the Montage Hotel, 225 North Canon Drive in Beverly Hills. There are other panels and a roundtable discussion planned, check out the complete schedule and find registration information at:
