Thousands will gather at industry’s most popular symposium on April 21, 2009

The Final Cut Pro User Group Network announced the 8th Annual NAB FCPUG SuperMeet will be held at the Rio Hotel (Las Vegas, NV) on Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Expected to be one of the largest gatherings of editors, filmmakers, and digital content creators during the NAB 2009 show, the 8th Annual NAB SuperMeet provides an open forum for attendees to discuss the rapidly changing landscape of postproduction and broadcast, talk one-on-one with industry leading digital media technology developers, and network with peers.

“The SuperMeet is always and has been always the biggest party in town during NAB week,” says Michael Horton, SuperMeet co-producer and founder of the Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group. “It has become THE social gathering place for editors and digital content creators looking to network, inspire, learn from each other and just have a good time.”

Final Cut Pro User Groups (FCPUG) started as a grassroots movement to connect Apple Final Cut Pro Editors at a local level. Now in its 8th year, the producers behind the SuperMeet have harnessed the energy of the local chapters and turned FCPUG into the industry’s most influential user organized event with an impressive number of members turning out for each SuperMeet.

SuperMeets are held in conjunction with industry trade shows around the world; MacWorld (San Francisco CA, USA), NAB (Las Vegas NV USA) and IBC (Amsterdam, The Netherlands). The user-driven format offers engaging presentations and training by community members and industry technologists. Equally popular are the presentations from community member videographers and filmmakers.
