The IMUG began with its first NAB events in 1998, with the goal of fostering face-to-face interactions amongst the members of our online community. The media-motion.tv mailing lists remain the anchor of this community. Every day, our 3000+ members interact on subjects of video production, post production, motion graphics, compression and sound business strategy. Always held on NAB Monday, the MediaMotion Ball is now in it's 16th year. The MediaMotion Ball has grown in both size and reach and is one of the premier user events in the NAB landscape.
2013 is the 16th anniversary
of the MediaMotion Events at NAB and our second year at our new venue Monte Carlo. The MMB is unique in the NAB
landscape - a
non-profit event for users, by users and entirely volunteer created and
run.
We
hope to see you this year for a wonderful night!
