The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) has opened early registration for its 2024 Media Technology Summit.
The SMPTE Media Technology Summit 2024 is the Society’s annual media technology conference where global industry leaders share their latest research findings and professionals can network and learn.

This year’s Summit will take place October 21-24 at the Ovation Hollywood in Hollywood, California.
“This year, the Media Technology Summit will be bigger and better than ever,” said Marc Zorn, SMPTE Hollywood Chair and Conference Co-Chair. “For example, instead of a traditional keynote address, we will have featured speaker sessions with key filmmakers to discuss the roles that technologies and SMPTE play in their process.”
Attendees will have access to peer-reviewed technical sessions, invited presentations, and panels, as well as to the Solutions Hub and new features of this year’s conference, like the Tech Trek.
The Tech Trek will be guided, interactive exhibit tours showcasing technology discussed in the sessions. These tours will provide participants with an opportunity to experience technology firsthand, as well as the leaders who created it. There will also be off-site experiences on October 24 for those who are interested in participating.
“The 2024 Media Technology Summit will have something for everyone,” said Zandra Clarke, SMPTE Director of Membership and MTS Co-Chair. “Whether you want to learn, network, or further your career, the Summit is the place to do it. SMPTE has provided the tools to succeed in the industry. It’s up to you to use them wisely.”
Early bird pricing for this year’s conference lasts from June 10 to July 31.
