Ask An expert 

We're pleased to annouce the addition of the Ask an Expert feature of the SMPTE 2020 event!  During the conference, you will be able to schedule brief one on one conversations with any of our Experts.  They are standing by to answer questions, join a debate, or brainstorm on a problem in a variety of areas! We encourage you to bring your questions and problems to our Experts! We especially encourage students and early career professionals to use the experts as a resource!
