FREE Adobe Max 2020 Registration Opens

The year 2020 has been an absolute mess of a year on so many levels. The pandemic has made things so much tougher on many businesses and consumers. This includes my favorite conference, Adobe Max. Since the COVID-19 pandemic continues its grip on our planet, Adobe, like many other companies, have pivot into a remote mode of operation. This includes this year annual creative conference, Adobe Max. Adobe Max 2020 will now be available to everyone for free online. No flying out to Los Angeles this year. Just mark your calendars for October 20th thru 22nd and attend virtually.

The show usually consists of a great keynote presentation sharing a bit of a recap of the previous year for Adobe as well as new products or feature launches for the coming year. There are also labs, sessions and interviews with great people from the industry. This year’s list of interviewees includes Ava DuVernay, Keanu Reeves, Tyler the Creator, and Annie Leibovitz.

When you register for Adobe Max, you’ll be able to not only view the keynote presentation and interviews, but you’ll be able to register for labs and sessions that you’re interested in. Just tailor your schedule to work best for you. If you’re interested in Photoshop, there are a lot of different sessions available to varying skill levels. It’s a really great experience that I think anyone in the creative space should look into.

Find out more about registration and sessions on the Adobe blog post here. I highly recommend you give it a look if you’re into the creative arts. Not just photography, but all the digital creative arts.


THIS is Why I Will CONTINUE To Share It

So if you’re following me on Twitter, you’ll notice I have this tweet pinned to the top of my profile. Also, you’ll notice that I share the contents of that tweet a few times a week. I do this because I feel it’s worth sharing and my small voice just may help amplify the message. I know I’m not going to get the attention the folks at TMZ gets, but I won’t stop sharing what I feel. Anyway. . . .

Recently I was on YouTube checking out a short video. It was from work. It featured a technologist I love and respect. So of course, I watched it. It was a great video. What bugged me was at the time of viewing it and now the time of me writing this post, the “like” to “dislike” ratio. Look here:

Now why would the ratio be this way? So many people honestly feel the subject matter of the video has no weight or warrants discussion? If so? Why? Anyway, I’m sharing the video and I’ll continue to share my story/tweet because apparently many people believe the current line of social norms is acceptable.
