Planning to attend the 12th Annual San Francisco SuperMeet on January 30th? Buy your ticket soon! The enrollment for workshops is already past the halfway mark and the sessions usually sell out well before the show. Attendees can plan to attend the workshops during the day and still have plenty of time to fully enjoy both the SuperMeet Digital Showcase and SuperMeet in the evening. As their web site notes:
SuperMeets provide the postproduction and broadcast community an opportunity to not only learn about latest technology trends, but to network and share industry news and opportunities in a social setting that is both educational, exciting and fun! If you haven’t attended a SuperMeet or one of the workshops, why are you waiting? If you have been to one before, you already know why you should register.
SF Cutters has the information you need for the 12th Annual SuperMeet and other great events.

Like many of us, the members and officers of the London Mac User Group are looking forward to a new year and new possibilities. What could be better than a bit of a walk with good friends? Add in a bit of tech and it gets even better. On January 14, the group teams up with Bagel Tech for a Photowalk. Why? The group says that a photowalk will help folk get out doors more, offer a new hobby or improve an old one, provide a way to meet new people and, best of all, have fun. The group will end the day with a gathering at a local pub. What’s not to love?
Share shots and tips with the best.
