..it's one of the world's most prestigious gatherings in media, entertainment and technology.
Intro
Held annually, NAB brings together the brightest minds and most forward-thinking companies in broadcasting, film and post-production, making it one of the most influential stages in the global industry calendar, bringing together more 58,000+ registered attendees from 146 countries.
Phillippa was invited to speak across five sessions at Post Production World, the conference's dedicated programme for post-production professionals. Her sessions spanned some of the most pressing topics shaping the industry today: colour management and AI-assisted finishing in DaVinci Resolve, cloud-based workflows informed by real research conducted here at Ravensbourne, and building resilience in the post-production workforce. Each session drew on deep technical expertise and genuine frontline experience, the same expertise she brings into the classroom with our students every week.
