Final Cut Pro Users to Gather at NAB for Giant 'SuperMeet'

"Final Cut Pro users and Gurus from around the world will gather in Las Vegas Wednesday April 26, at the Rio Hotel’s Brasilia Ball Room for the “5th Annual FCPUG SuperMeet,” as part of NAB2006.

(PRWEB) March 6, 2006 -- Final Cut Pro users and Gurus from around the world will gather in Las Vegas Wednesday April 26, at the Rio Hotel’s Brasilia Ball Room for the “5th Annual FCPUG SuperMeet,” as part of NAB2006.

“This is the 5th year we have put on this show,” said Michael Horton, head of the Los Angeles Final Cut Pro User Group (lafcpug). “Each year gets bigger and bigger and we expect more than 1,000 people to show up this year. We call it a “SuperMeet” because that is what it has become. FCP User Groups from around the world meet up once a year at NAB for a chance to meet and greet each other, meet the FCP team from Apple, learn new techniques, see new products demoed, hang out with vendors who are not on the show floor and generally just have a great time. It’s become the “must attend” event at NAB for anyone who is interested in Apple’s Final Cut Studio.”

Agenda has not been set and won’t be until shortly before the event date, but it is expected members of Apple’s FCP team will be there. Also expected will be user demos and techniques, new product demos and a raffle with prizes totaling into the thousands of dollars. Over a dozen vendors, some of whom will not be on the NAB show floor, will also be on hand showing off their products.

Plenty of food will be on hand and Cash Bars will be available. Tickets for this event are on sale now for $15.00 per person and the show is open to the public. It is expected this event will sell out.

More information including directions to the Rio Hotel and a link to where to buy tickets online can be found on the lafcpug web site."
