21 Julho 2023 - 1:05PM
Avid® (NASDAQ: AVID) today announced the return of its Avid
Learning Summit series to strengthen the connection among students,
educators, jobseekers and employers in film, TV and music
production. These free, full-day events are designed to inspire,
educate and increase the flow of new video and audio editorial
talent into the industry. The broad agenda includes career advice,
professional networking and academic programming through the voices
and experiences of high school and college faculty, celebrated
creatives, media company leaders, and students at all levels.
Register now for The Avid Learning Summit taking place next
Saturday, July 29, hosted at Musicians Institute College of
Contemporary Music. Capacity is limited to ensure all attendees
enjoy a day of personal engagement and interaction. Sessions will
deliver a range of actionable learning, personal development and
creative inspiration including:
- The unique story of the picture and sound editing collaboration
behind the extremely popular Ted Lasso streaming TV series, as told
by its Emmy®-winning team in a panel session sponsored
by Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services;
- Guidance on how creative individuals can elevate their presence
with powerful personal branding that amplifies their value and wins
jobs in today’s creative gig economy;
- Insights straight from hiring managers at studios and media
companies about whom they seek to hire and why, and what
educational institutions can do to prepare students for the
creative workplace;
- Exploring the tools of media production and the vocational
influence of technological megatrends like remote working, cloud
and artificial intelligence.
Attendees will also be introduced to the full suite of benefits
of the new Avid Learning Affiliate program—the no-cost,
no-obligation way for colleges, universities and other
post-secondary institutions to gain access to free software, plus a
range of teaching and learning resources, including comprehensive
“Getting Started” training, free tips and techniques content and
lesson plans, plus structured courses available via Avid Learning
Central, Avid’s eLearning platform. Participating schools become
part of the vibrant, global community of hundreds of institutions
and thousands of educators committed to strong academics and career
preparation built on proficiency in the technologies specified by
video and audio production professionals everywhere.
Bryan Castle Jr., Senior Director of Global Learning
Partnerships, Avid, said:“Today’s high demand for talented people
to edit and produce content does not mean that hiring standards are
wavering. In fact, the threshold for a successful career is higher
than ever. Educators and students alike have a lot on their plates
just with getting their arms around building technical aptitude and
confident creative expression. We’ve brought our summits back in a
way that brings all of the constituents together for a clear view
of how each can contribute and forge ahead.”
Founded in the heart of Hollywood in 1977, Avid Learning Partner

Details are coming soon for Avid Learning Summit London, to be
hosted by Avid Learning Partner Ravensbourne University, on
