Videomaker conferences

[MisterCat]

Anyone been to any of the conferences/workshops offered by Videomaker magazine? I'm going to be in Orlando the weekend they're offering one down there and just wondering if it's worth my time and money. I'm no Scorsese but not a beginner, either, so it's hard to tell what to think from their course descriptions. I called the info number but the woman who answered the phone couldn't tell me much about it.

Thx
Steven

Hmmm... I'd guess not. I haven't been to the sessions, but have been to the sales floor of one or two... and it's not on a level with, say, DVExpo.

However, on the other hand, I'll say that occasionally, just watching some of these sessions (like the free ones in the Apple Store), you'll pick up a time-saving tip or two even if you've been working for years. Just little features here and there that you haven't thought to use.

So, if you can write off your whle weekend in Orlando as a business expense by going to a session or two, it might be worth it.
