HPA Women In Post Panel
Wednesday, November 18, 2026
2:45-3:30pm
SMPTE Solutions Hub Stage
Cool Workflows Built with MCPs This Year
AI tooling is moving faster than vendor documentation can keep up, making practitioner-to-practitioner knowledge sharing the fastest way to learn what’s actually viable. Join HPA’s Women in Post for a lightning round of presentations about recent model context protocol (MCP) implementations to orchestrate multiple AI solutions into workflows that free up creative professionals to focus on storytelling, not technology wrangling.
Moderator: Melody Kellis
HPA x SMPTE Industry Meet-Up
After the SMPTE Media Technology Summit wraps for the day, join HPA for an industry meetup at Barney’s Beanery in Pasadena (just a 10 minute walk from the conference!). It’s a chance to mingle, network, and catch up with fellow HPA members and friends in the M&E community. No program, no pressure!
