Overview
To Be Alpha is to be a leader, an innovator, someone who stands out from the crowd. At this special two-day experience, you'll learn from and be inspired by creative leaders from both the stills photography and filmmaking worlds. They'll share their experiences with you on thought-provoking Day 1 panels, then dive deep into the tech and craftsmanship in smaller Day 2 workshops and other interactive activities.
You'll also get the chance to explore Industry City, a dynamic complex of designers, makers, and content creators located on the Brooklyn waterfront. Of course, there'll be plenty of time for you to mingle with the other like-minded creatives—and the presenters as well—at our exclusive Day 1 Evening Mixer and beyond.
Additionally, to celebrate the upcoming launch of the Sony Certified Professional Repair Facility at AbelCine, we'll be offering free basic sensor area cleanings on your Sony Alpha cameras, and free evaluations for FS Series and CineAlta cameras, by AbelCine and Sony technicians throughout both days of the event.*Note: If additional issues are found during the evaluation, the camera will need an estimate for repair and we cannot guarantee same day turnaround.
