HAPPY BIRTHDAY STUDIOSYSADMINS!!!

Helping to improve Digital Content Creation though technology for 3 years!!!

StudioSysAdmins thrives to share non-proprietary information between studios, consultants, vendors and resellers to allow studios to build, manage and support their infrastructure and pipelines to bring better content to the Entertainment Industry. By sharing information and helping each other we continue to build better studios by reducing overhead costs and allowing new products to be accepted more easily.

Earlier this week the StudioSysAdmins community reached it's 3rd Anniversary! We've been steadily growing since we started on September 5th, 2008. With 1356 registered members from 683 registered companies (411 Production Studios, Production Training Facilities and/or Visualization Labs). A truly global community with members from 86 major cities from 32 countries.

We would like to thank all our Vendors and Resellers who helped sponsor our meetings and events. In the past year we have held 19 local area meetings in 8 different cities such as London, Los Angeles, Montreal, New York, San Francisco, Sydney, Toronto and Vancouver. We have also participated in or help sponsor 27 other industry related events. As our community and reach continues to grow we will add more cities for local area meetings and participate in even more events.

We would like to thank all our Members for participating in the forums and at the events. Sharing knowledge is the key of making a great and lasting community. Keep up the great work!

This year at SIGGRAPH we talked about new things that would happen with the group this year. Everyone keep an eye out for the exciting changes.

A lot has been happening so far this year at StudioSysAdmins and we have a lot more planned to help bring the group to the next level.

We continue to grow our membership (currently 1200 members)

In the past 4 months (since we reached 1000) we've had 200 new members, 97 new companies (60 of those have been studios)

Our distributions lists continue to be very active. Keep up the great work and keep spreading the word.

We had a great turn out for both Meet and Greet events at NAB in Las Vegas thanks to Alacritech and Avere Systems.

We are just finalizing sponsorship and plans for an event @ SIGGRAPH in Vancouver - look for more information on that soon.

Should continue to be a very interesting year and future for StudioSysAdmins.
