Los Angeles CA./Boston MA - The Final Cut Pro User Group Network announced today that the FCPUG SuperMeet is coming to London England and will once again be held in the Great Hall at the Kensington Conference and Event Centre in Kensington, England on Thursday, June 23, 2011. This SuperMeet follows the standing room only success of the 10th Annual Las Vegas FCPUG SuperMeet held in on April 12, 2011 during NAB. Sponsors for the London SuperMeet are currently lining up for what is expected to be another sold out event.
An estimated crowd of over 1800 people attended the recent 10th Annual Las Vegas FCPUG SuperMeet, which celebrated the tenth anniversary of SuperMeets and gave the world a “sneak peak” of Final Cut Pro X which is expected to be released in June 2011.
"It was an amazing night,” said Daniel Berube, head of the Boston Final Cut Pro User Group and SuperMeet co-producer. “Apple surprised us and the world by showing off portions of Final Cut Pro X and the reaction was nothing short of exuberant. But the presentation left us with more questions than answers. So in London, we hope to answer many of those questions. Assuming FCPX is released by then.”
“This is certainly shaping up to be the year of Final Cut Pro X.” added Michael Horton, head of the Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group and co-producer of the SuperMeet. “We are hopeful that FCPX will be released by June 23 and if it is, then we intend to show it off. If it’s not, we have plenty of new and unique FCP tips, tricks and workflow ideas to show. It’s going to be an exciting night, that we can guarantee.”
The final agenda will not be announced until shortly before the event date, however the producers have stated that producer, director, editor, consultant and Apple-Certified trainer Larry Jordan will present on Final Cut Pro.
“Larry is a masterful presenter and we are excited to have him,” said Horton. “His energy, enthusiasm, and extraordinary knowledge of the program make every one of his sessions memorable. He's working on his presentation now and will let us know more about it in a couple of weeks. Cool stuff about Final Cut 7? A first look at Final Cut X? Exciting plug-ins or hardware? He hasn't told us.”
In addition, Colorist Alexis Van Hurkman will show off the DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic Design. Autodesk’s Joe Billington will demo Smoke on Mac OSX. And there will be special films from Red Giant Software and Genarts. And MUCH more. Rounding out the evening will be the always crazy “World Famous Raffle,” where dozens of lucky people will go home with thousands of Pounds worth of valuable software and hardware.
Doors to the SuperMeet will open at about 19:00 with the "SuperMeet Digital Showcase," featuring over 15 software and hardware developers including Blackmagic Design, AV3/GET, Genarts, G-Tech, Jigsaw, LaCie, Drobo, Red Giant, London Filter Company, Qube Master, Tiffen, and many others. Here, attendees can enjoy a few cocktails, network and party with industry peers, talk one on one with leading manufacturers and learn about the latest trends in collaborative editing workflows for post production and broadcast markets.
"This London SuperMeet will be our second time here and the second time we have done a stand alone SuperMeet that is not tied to a trade show," added Dan Berube. "It will not be our last either, as we move forward to distance ourselves from trade shows and further build our global community with unique offerings. We have brilliant support in the UK from the creative community and we expect another excellent turnout."
It is expected the London SuperMeet will sell out as historically SuperMeets always sell out. Tickets are on sale now for only £15.00 each plus ticket fee. Students and Teachers with a valid student or teacher ID can purchase tickets for £10.00 each.
