Why Exhibit

• Industry leaders from some of the most influential organizations in film and television.
• A platform to showcase your organization’s brand, mission, and technology solutions.
• All floor sessions, lunches, and receptions in the Solutions Hub.
• Complimentary or discounted registrations for your organization’s booth staff or employees.
• Complimentary access to the Solutions Hub for you to distribute to your contacts or customers.

The transformed exhibit hall will be full of solutions-focused exhibits and emerging technology presentations.  The space will feature a stage where exhibitors can present their new technologies and industry innovations.

The Solutions Hub will be comprised of four main experience areas:

• The Main Floor: Select from individual or multiple 6’x6’, 10’x10’ or 15’x15’ booth spaces.
   
• The SMPTE Color Bar & Lounge (sponsored by Signiant): Join us for drink receptions, reconnect with your colleagues, or hold a casual meeting in this bar and lounge space within the Solutions Hub.
   
• The Emerging Technology Showcase: This space will feature floor sessions focused on emerging technology. The program will be curated and is open to companies participating as exhibitors in the Solutions Hub. Criteria and submission information available below.
   
• The SMPTE Spectrum: This space will be dedicated to the color science of digital cinema. Exhibitors in this space can present groundbreaking solutions for the fields of color management including color grading, reference displays, electronic image sensors and scopes. Solutions presented can range from simple solutions such as software and hardware to more complex ones such as those involving light and/or color interoperability for On-Set Virtual Production (OSVP). With the right technology and know-how, exhibitors can bring innovative ideas to life that would help facilitate standards and revolutionize the way we think about color and lighting from working on a micro-stage to a full-scale LED volume.
