HPA Tech Retreat 2022 See you in the Innovation Zone!

Object Storage & Remote Workstations at HPA with Object Matrix, SimpleCloud & CineSys As the world begins to open back up again and travel restrictions slowly relax, so does the opportunity to attend face-to-face events. The pandemic has forced organizations to make radical changes to the way they network and build relationships, but nothing beats an in-person discussion amongst industry leaders and experts to keep abreast of the latest trends and movements. The first industry in-person event of 2022 takes place in Palm Springs, the HPA Tech Retreat. Bringing together world leaders from engineering, technology, creativity and business sectors to explore and experience the most popular topics around creation, management, and dissemination of content. The HPA Tech Retreat is a unique event amongst all tech events, with ideas explored and debated during breakfast roundtables, onstage presentations, and networking.

Amongst those attending will be Nick Pearce, CRO from Object Matrix and Scott Johnson, Head of America from SimpleCloud, who you will find at a shared booth in the Innovation Zone. Nick and Scott will be demonstrating the integration between their two solutions so be sure to come along for a catch up!

MatrixStore Cloud is built on the leading media-focused object storage platform that benefits organizations both financially and operationally by helping creative professionals to easily self-serve access with no manual intervention.

SimpleCloud allows users to run demanding software (such as Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Autodesk Maya, Shotgrid, Cinema 4D, Blender and more), or engines (such as Unreal or Unity) from any device accessing powerful VDIs and to enjoy all its features from anywhere (home, remote locations, factory floor, or the studio). It has unique features for collaboration, control and remote assistance.

Nick Pearce, CRO, Object Matrix said:

My last business trip to the USA was to attend the HPA Tech Retreat in 2020 so I am delighted that my first trip to the States, since the pandemic, will be to attend the 2022 HPA event with both CineSys and SimpleCloud.

Scott Johnson, Head of North America, SimpleCloud:

I greatly enjoyed attending the 2020 HPA Tech Retreat in person and very much look forward to seeing friends and colleagues again, in person, very soon! On this occasion, we have the added benefit of partnering with Object Matrix in the Innovation Zone and will have a lot to show and discuss.

I'm looking forward to the schedule that the event organizers have put together. The sessions, roundtables, and Innovation Zone will give us a fantastic opportunity to catch up with old friends and make new ones during the event.

Brent Angle, CTO, CineSys Inc.:

This will be my first HPA Tech Retreat since the pandemic started. Our North American partnership with SimpleCloud and Object Matrix has been invaluable these past few years as we have helped our clients, whether it was remotely producing a 100+ million dollar movie entirely in the cloud, or maintaining a massive footage archive connecting on-prem, cloud storage, and everything in between. I am very much looking forward to the fraternity in the Innovation Zone and dis
