MEDIA FORWARD is a career focused event that presents an opportunity for industry partners to connect with a targeted group of students who are already interested in the media industry. As a SMPTE student chapter we work to introduce media students from colleges and high schools in our region to the future of their industry to support their employment goals and pathways to success.
Please sign up and attend as a SMPTE or SBE member to meet established media-focused students from local colleges and high schools eager to pursue careers in broadcasting, film, digital media, and related fields.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between students and industry professionals by introducing students to the future of their industry and helping them explore pathways to success.
The SMPTE-DC Student Chapter works hard to cultivate a diverse, enthusiastic group of students with a strong interest in the media industry, making this a valuable opportunity for sponsors to connect with the next generation of media talent.
For student attendees:
- Kickstart Your Media Technology Career
- Discover the latest technologies
- Meet and learn from industry technology leaders
- Network and create mentorships with industry professionals
Media Forward connects students with the future of media technology. Join professionals in broadcast, digital media, livestreaming, and more, as they give insights into their everyday work and share their ideas about the future of the business.
The event is open to all students from high school through graduate students. We encourage SMPTE and SBE members to come support and get to know the next generation of media technology professionals. The event is offered at no charge; however, pre-registration is required.
This event is produced by the Washington DC Section of The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), a global organization of media professionals and technologists, in conjunction with Montgomery College Department of Media Arts & Technologies. Assistance provided by the Washington DC chapter of Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE).
