Message from the Executive Director: The World Is Changing, Are You Ready?
Barbara H. Lange
Irecently attended an event where I learned a lot about what the future holds for us in the media technology industry. It was the latest HPA NET (Hollywood Professional Association Networking) lunch event, and, if you live in the Los Angeles area and have never attended one, you are missing out. The luncheon offers the opportunity to mix and mingle, but the core of the event is the various tables hosted by individuals informing about a specific industry topic. During the event, attendees spend 20–30 min at one table then move to a different table to learn about a new topic. Think of it as speed dating but for media technology topics.
