SMPTE Visual Innovation and Brilliant Engineering Conference
Meet Today’s Evolving Demands
April 18, 2026
Las Vegas Convention Center
Explore how modern story-driven productions shape technology — from end-to-end workflow design to robotic systems enabling impossible camera motion, content authenticity and provenance challenges to new pipeline approaches meeting evolving creative demands. This conference is produced in partnership with the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.
About the Program
Discover how creative needs drive technical innovation across today’s productions. Dive into end-to-end workflow design for complex productions, see how robotics enables previously impossible motion (including a live demonstration), examine rising demands for standards in content authenticity and provenance, and learn how studios are reinventing their pipelines to support evolving narrative and visual expectations.
