C.C.B.E. 2010 September 16, 17, 18, 19

Horseshoe Resort Barrie, Ontario, Canada

Like a great artist putting the final touches on what will soon be declared yet another masterpiece, your talented, classically trained CCBE Executive is putting the final touches to our canvas that will forever be known to future generations as the great CCBE Conference of September 16-19, 2010. Registration to this event has been recommended by Sotheby's as a class A investment that will only appreciate in value once its life has transpired on the 20th.

Yet another finely crafted Paper's Session has been constructed in the Neo-Post-Pseudo-Faux -Techno-Geek-Modernist style by our Co-Papers Chairs. Highlighting a striking balance between TV and Radio centric sessions featuring contrasting yet subtle hues of analog and digital the artist achieves pleasing yet informative balance between the cognitive and affective domains of experience.

Were going to start off this year’s conference with two Thursday Workshops, one of which will be aimed at radio, titled “Audio Processing and the Program chain – From Source to RF”. I know this one will be helpful as there are not a lot of books on the topic and it doesn't google well either. For TV people we have a workshop titled “ATSC Test and Measurement”. At least, I'm assuming it’s for TV people because I'm in radio and don't know what ATSC stands for.

The Paper Sessions continue the theme of providing insight into the inner workings of both TV and Radio, from the basics of “Proper Wiring Techniques for Broadcasters” to the cutting edge of Stereoscopic 3D TV and almost everything in between. Visit our website at www.ccbe.ca to view all the scheduled papers and start planning your weekend in advance.

As usual the upper echelon of our Executive has done a masterfully creative job of allowing, requesting, cajoling, convincing, pleading, and threatening companies to sponsor the events and meals we have planned for all attendees. Please check the “Sponsors” link on our home page to see the companies who help us put this conference on for you at such an affordable price.

So remember great art must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated. If you haven't already, register now before the hot summer sun and cold margaritas rob you of your higher brain functioning and you forget until its too late. Go to www.ccbe.ca , click on the CCBE Registration tab and hit the “Print Form” at the bottom of the page. Then click on the Horseshoe Registration Information tab to check into on site accommodations.

Hope to see you there!
