My Afflation

This is the first year that I have come to NAB before the exhibits open. There is a lot to learn in Post | Production World and Day 1 did not disappoint. I'm actually going back and forth between three tracks : Adobe Creative Suite 5, Producer | Director Workshop, and Social Media Bootcamp. And then there are the exhibits!

I have high hopes for the 2011 myNABShow app. It allows you to sync your schedule with the website, add friends, find exhibits, and follow the #NABShow twitter stream.  If you have Twicca you can reply from within the app. These are just the features I use. However, as of this writing there are still issues syncing your profile, which negates the most useful parts of the app.  It affects your schedule and also affects the 'add friend' function.  I've redone my profile three times in the last two days, logged out, logged back in,  and right now I'm waiting to hear from support. If you have issues with the app, please email them. I received a very quick response. The more info they have hopefully the faster they can push a fix. I'll update this as soon as I have a fix.

My first year I was picked out of the blue by @ NABShow to blog about it and was lucky enough to know someone going who needed an extra set of hands. I'm not cut out to be a gopher. I got to meet some amazing people and hang out in the bookstore (which was fine by me!), check out the content theater, and live tweet. I was too busy doing all that to blog it. I know, shame on me. Last year I went because the conference co-incided with my unemployment. I also attended the Job Fair (making a return this year). There were some great panels and I met Edwin of PinkSlip Mixers . The information learned at the panels and from the Career Advising Center was invaluable. It may be because the sytlist said I look really good in purple that I wear it more confidently these days. Yes, there i...
