05 HPA Tech Retreat(r) Unveils Expanded Seion Schedule

29/01/2015

The Hollywood Post Alliance(r) (HPA) has announced the final schedule for the 2015 HPA Tech Retreat(r), February 9th to 13th, 2015 in Indian Wells, CA. The Tech Retreat is a relaxed yet focused gathering where engineering, technology and strategic business leaders join top creative talent to explore and debate the most compelling topics facing the media and entertainment industry today. The event offers four solidly scheduled days of sessions, demonstrations and events, and delivers a forward looking perspective on an industry continuing its dynamic and rapid transformation of how content is created, finished, distributed and arrived.

For 20 years, the Tech Retreat has proven to be a bellwether event where groundbreaking ideas are born and industry-changing technologies unveiled. From drones and UHD, the cloud and cyber security, to maintaining creative intent while exploring the next iteration of broadcast standards - if it s being thought about, it will be discussed, debated, and perhaps even refuted at the Tech Retreat. More than 45 sessions, 75 early morning thought provoking breakfast roundtables and over 100 speakers make up the conference program. In addition, 30 new technologies are slated to debut in the event s curated Demo Room, and the schedule is crafted to offer time for exploration and interaction.

Leon Silverman, President of the HPA, noted, "As we enter our 21st year, the Tech Retreat continues to be one of those events you can t afford to miss. The mix of topics, technology and top industry minds makes this event a yearly check-in with industry gurus and deep thinkers that seem to gather at the HPA every year in the desert. Making the pilgrimage to the HPA Tech Retreat seems to provide so many of us with a check on the pulse of the entire industry."

Silverman commented, "It s our 21st year, and the lineup is more inspiring and informative than ever. We don t go to the Tech Retreat with the answers, we go with the questions, and that s by design. And you always leave feeling as though you ve been engaged and informed, even though you may leave with different questions! It s not a sales event, it not a typical conference, it s not a trade show, and it s not a scholarly event. But, it s personal and thought provoking, and all of the most interesting people are there; especially the ones you have never met. There s simply nothing else like it."

Throughout the Tech Retreat, new technologies are explored and demonstrated in sessions and in the Demo Room. This year, dozens of new technologies will appear, in keeping with the event s history of unveiling important technological advancements - advanced cameras, holographic imagery, 3D, to name a few. Another first this year, Christie s new laser projection solution will be utilized during the Tech Retreat Sessions.

Registration for the HPA Tech Retreat is strongly recommended. The Tech Retreat is a limited attendance event and seating is approaching capacity and expected to sell out. It is still possible to register, but pre-conference registration closes Monday, February 2, 2014, after which time only onsite registrations will be accepted, and those registrations are space-permitting. Full-conference as well as one-day registrations are available. Registration includes conference sessions, breakfast roundtables, lunch, demo room, and social events.
