HD EXPO has been creating a buzz in the high definition community by producing themed evenings in original locations. Past themes include "HD - Take Me Out To The Ball Game" and "HD EXPO Fantasy Island."
HD EXPO supports the high definition community by its presentation of content-driven and theme-based gatherings at which film and video industry professionals learn more about products, services and issues related to high definition content production. HD EXPO stimulates interest in and increases exposure for participating sponsors/exhibitors; unites high definition-related events, meetings and user groups under one banner; enables people to share technology, mix within the industry and engage in hands-on education.
