Broadcast Beat is once again a media sponsor for the 2015 Las Vegas SuperMeet.

Doors open at 4:30 p.m. for the Digital Showcase and the main event starts at 7:00 p.m.
Creative Pro User Group (CPUG) Network SuperMeets are gatherings of Final Cut, Adobe, Avid and Autodesk editors, gurus and digital filmmakers.

In both desktop and mobile systems, HP Z Workstations boost productivity with multi-core processors, large memory capacities, leading-edge graphics, and unique technologies built for the media and entertainment industries—such as ThunderBolt™ 1 2 for I/O connectivity, HP Z Turbo Drive to reduce graphics response times (even with 4k video) and HP DreamColor technology, maintaining consistent color across digital workflows.
iZotope has spent over a decade developing award-winning products and audio technologies for professionals. Used by millions of people in over 50 countries, iZotope products are a core component of GRAMMY-winning music studios, Oscar and Emmy-winning film and TV post production studios, and prominent radio studios. Through a robust licensing program, iZotope also powers products made by Adobe and Avid.
