Aug. 17 SMPTE+ Event Will Explore Critical Considerations as M and E Industry Continues Migration Into the Cloud

SMPTE , a leader in motion-imaging standards and education for the communications, media, entertainment, and technology industries, will be hosting the second SMPTE virtual event - Migrating Media & Entertainment Into the Cloud: A Real-World Perspective - on Aug. 17. Over the course of this half-day event, subject matter experts from across the media value chain will examine key issues, share their practical experiences, provide a snapshot of the status of migration, and offer unique perspectives on the future of media in the cloud.

Our second SMPTE event gives participants a unique opportunity to hear industry experts and business leaders weigh in on the most important factors surrounding the M&E industrys move to the cloud, said Joel Welch, director of education at SMPTE. While the cloud migration has moved beyond the tipping point, with many practical and technical issues resolved, the industry faces new and different uncertainties as we go forward. Weve structured this SMPTE event to tackle urgent questions and help participants gain a clearer understanding of the challenges and opportunities that cloud migration will present for their businesses.

Its well-known that migrating media workflows to the cloud allows organizations to realize new efficiencies and take advantage of the latest technical innovations, said Sally Hubbard, co-chair for this SMPTE event. This SMPTE event will look more broadly at the implications of the move to the cloud in the shorter and longer term and at emerging best practices based on real-world implementations.

Prior to the event, SMPTE subscribers will gain access to a thoughtfully chosen and organized content library designed to provide fundamental knowledge and address issues to be considered. Subscribers will then meet on Aug. 17 for the SMPTE live event to discuss the content, hear live presentations, engage in Q&A with speakers and panelists, and socialize with people who share their interests. Panels and presentations will focus on topics including evolving financial and business models, the emergence and adoption of new tools and technologies, and ongoing concerns and best practices around security, content preservation, and business continuity.
