Join iHollywood Forum for the launch of our fourth summit, The Digital Studio on Nov. 4, 2002, at the Wyndham Belage Hotel in Hollywood, CA. The one-day event will feature an executive forum addressing the key issues in digital production and exhibition, as well as an exclusive showcase featuring innovators in enabling technologies and services. We expect 400 attendees, 40 exhibitors and dozens of speakers from the leaders in this exciting new arena.

The Digital Studio is the first conference dedicated to the digital technologies redefining the production and distribution of film, television and video programming.

Pick between executive sessions and breakout panels on digital storyboarding, production, post-production, visual effects and animation, digital asset management and storage, high-definition television and film, and the business of digital filmmakers. You'll have exclusive access to some of the top players in digital production, and the option of attending an exclusive cocktail party for more networking at the end of the day.

Whether you're a senior studio executive or an independent filmmaker, you'll find material to advance your skills and your career!
