The 2017 NAB Show in Las Vegas will be playing host to an annual special event as the IMUG MediaMotion Ball will hold it’s 20th annual gala affair. The Ball will begin at 5:30 PM on April 24 and will be held at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino located on the Las Vegas strip.
The MediaMotion Ball is hosted by the International Media Users Group, an all-volunteer community of video and design professionals, which interacts every day, but one day per year hosts this annual celebration. All are welcome. This April 22-27, the television, radio and video production industries will gather in Las Vegas for 2017 NAB Show, the largest trade show affecting the broadcasting industry. Most importantly, the best and the brightest of the production community will be gathering at the MediaMotion Ball. Many returning attendees tell the IMUG that the number one reason they come to NAB is to attend the MediaMotion Ball.
Sign-up and advance ticket purchases start on March 6 online at the web site: www.mediamotionball.com. Tickets to the 20th anniversary event include a catered meal and entry into the prize drawing.
MediaMotion Ball is returning to the Monte Carlo for 2017. The event will feature a gourmet full-meal dinner buffet. Tickets are just $55 (subsidized) by advance purchase only. The MediaMotion Ball is a first class dinner event, and the reduced $55 ticket price is only possible thanks to the generous subsidy support of the event’s sponsors and the tireless efforts of the volunteer crew that puts this venerable user event on each year.
The IMUG is welcoming Frame.io, a new sponsor to the event. Frame.io CEO, Emery Wells, said that the company, “is dedicated to removing obstacles in the creative process so that video creators can do what they do best. Our tools make the review process quick and easy instead of slow and frustrating. We aim to empower the creative community however we can and supporting the 20th anniversary of MediaMotion Ball is a fantastic way to do that.”
Brian Maffitt will be the guest speaker at the Ball. He has founded a few companies, designed software that was acquired by Adobe and rolled into After Effects, acted on Broadway, taught countless people how to use creative software, produced a few thousand hours of video content, and been an intermittently-famous art photographer.
IMUG founder, Carey Dissmore, could not be more excited about having Brian as guest speaker as he said that, “Brian taught me After Effects! I am tremendously excited to welcome Brian Maffitt to present our keynote this year. For decades he has been a presence on our Media-Motion list communities, managing to offer everything from sage advice to a well-timed bit of wit and whimsy. He is an inspiration to us all”
There will be a tremendous host of prizes contributed by the generous sponsors of the Ball and prize announcements will be constantly updated at the Ball’s website. The Ball is offering an impressive lineup of sponsors this year from new and long term MMB sponsors such as Maxon, Red Giant, Video Copilot, Flanders Scientific, Pond5 and many more. The MediaMotion Ball attracts attendees from countries all over the world including Sweden, The United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, India, Phllippines, Singapore, The Netherlands and, of course, the USA.
IMUG founder Carey Dissmore concludes that, “Never been to the MediaMotion Ball event? Then this is THE year. Experience what previous attendees have raved about for so long. Been before? then you know what to expect and enjoy! Truly, this is the highlight of NAB week for most in this community.”
