[comp.graphics] Video Expo - Chicago

kintner@venus.sw.mcc.com (Jeanne Kintner) (06/13/90)

I have received a brochure on the Video Expo being held in Chicago
July 23-27, 1990 co-sponsored by The North American Television
Institute, Computer Aided Graphics Multimedia & Presentations and
Knowledge Industry Publication, Inc. (I think).  The seminars
listed seem to cover technology in video and computers, as well as
art and design for the layman and the advanced (as I am coming from an
art oriented background I do not qualify for the technically
advanced).  This of course, gleaned from the brochure selling the
seminar.

It appears seminars & workshops are offered that  would be very
informative and educational.  But as I will be spending personal
funds to attend and for transportation to Chicago, I would like
to know if anyone has attended a previous Video Expo and what your
feelings were as to the quality of the seminars, the speakers and
the exhibit?  Is it widely attended within the industry?

Any information anyone can give will be greatly appreciated to
help make a decision before trying to come up with this much $$
of my own.  As I have been studying & working towards going into
computer graphics (which I would like to do soon) I am willing to go
out on a limb to learn as much as I can...but am hesitant to spend
so much and possibly be disappointed.  

Thanks for any information anyone can provide.
