NET Critical Conversations: Media & Entertainment Industry “Covid Edition” As Told By Mark Schubin
HPA Tech Retreat Maestro Mark Schubin has been chairing the HPA Tech Retreat program since it began. For the first time in over 20 years, we won’t be able to bring 700 HPA friends and colleagues together in person for the event. How will we all connect, learn, network, share 4 days together, and depart smarter and happier? Mark Schubin joins HPA NET Critical Conversations for a look back at past Tech Retreats and what’s in store for the 2021 Tech Retreat “Covid Edition” this coming February.
Multiple-Emmy-award-winning SMPTE Fellow Mark Schubin has been working in television since 1967, writing about it since 1972, and chairing the HPA Tech Retreat program since 1998 (before there was an HPA).
