FMC Brings Experience to Training

FMC offers hands-on courses that complement the sessions being offered at the NAB Post|Production World Conference.

As a coproducer of the NAB Post|Production World Conference, Future
Media Concepts (FMC) brings to the table an unparalleled level of
educational expertise.

Considered the nation's premier digital media training center, FMC
has classrooms in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC,
Miami, and Orlando and boasts an extensive team of
manufacturer-authorized instructors. FMC (www.FMCtraining.com) is a
certified-training provider for Adobe, Apple, Avid, Macromedia, Sony,
NewTek, Discreet, Boris, Digidesign, and Softimage. In addition to its
classrooms on the East Coast, FMC provides on-site training
nationwide.

For the NAB Post|Production World Conference, FMC drew heavily on
its vast training expertise. Most of the technical chairs of the 25
conference tracks are FMC-affiliated instructors, as are about 35% of
the session instructors.

Most impressively, says Ben Kozuch, conference chairperson and
president and cofounder of FMC, "every session we will present at the
conference has an expanded class behind it. So, for example, if you
take a session on color correction and you decide you want to study the
topic in more depth, you have the confidence of knowing that FMC can
offer you a hands-on, two-day color-correction class. If you take a
session on advanced editing tips on the Avid, there is a two-day class
on that. And so on."

Although students can clearly get a lot more information in a
hands-on, two-day class, Kozuch says the overriding benefit of
attending the NAB Post|Production World Conference is the unique
opportunity it provides to those who want to get some training on a
variety of different tools in a short period of time. That not only
broadens an attendee's expertise, but also helps them zero in on areas
they might like to explore in more depth.

In addition, says Kozuch, a conference gives attendees the chance to
hear a variety of different viewpoints and meet celebrity presenters
working on high-profile projects. The conference also gives attendees a
chance to develop their personal networks.

"This is a business that relies heavily on networking," says Kozuch,
sagely. "It's all about who you know and who knows you. So, when you go
to a conference you should make it a goal for yourself to walk away
with 10 business cards you did not have before."
