Every year Future Media Concepts organizes the Final Cut Pro Global Summit. These have typically been in-person events where creatives from all over the world can come and learn. COVID-19 may have prevented the event from being in-person, but it’s still happening. And it’s still big!
There will be over 40 speakers from a wide range of the creative industry, including tech and gaming YouTube sensation iJustine, Final Cut Pro expert and Ripple Training trainer Mark Spencer, This Week in Photo Host Frederick Van Johnson, OWC CEO Larry O’Connor, OWC President Jen Soule, and a keynote by the actor Vince Vaughn himself.
OWC is partnering with Apple to make this event absolutely FREE for all virtual attendees. Mark your calendars for next Monday, November 8th through Saturday, November 13th.
What’s new this year?
Each day is centered around a theme, covering a variety of topics within the industry such as production, social media, networking, color, audio, motion graphics, workflow, and more. Themes we’re excited about this year are Art & Artistry in the Ecosystem, Mobile First, Apple Centric. You can find a listing of sessions and speakers on the FCP Global Summit site.
OWC Session, Friday, November 12
Arguably the most anticipated day of the 6-day event is what’s coined as “Apple Day,” with speakers live from Apple Park. That is also the day that OWC will give its presentation on the future of workflows. Mark your calendar for 2 PM EDT!
