The summit will aim to present the latest innovative processes, tools, workflows, interoperability solutions, standards and various other exciting initiatives driving the industry forward, ensuring unwavering quality in the seamless creation, management, and delivery of media content. Original, unpublished manuscripts aligning with these goals will undergo multi-peer review when submitted as abstracts. Abstracts should fall within the range of 300 to 400 words and will be accepted until May 31.
Furthermore, SMPTE has included a journal track, where interested parties can submit full, publication-ready manuscripts that will automatically be considered for publication in the SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal, subject to a separate post-event peer-review process. Manuscripts must be 3,000 to 5,000 words and will be accepted until May 31.
“The SMPTE Media Technology Summit is where the brightest minds in our industry come together to shape the future of media and entertainment,” said Juan Reyes, co-chair of the 2026 Media Technology Summit and president of Tech Align Group. “As co-chair of the event, I encourage experts from across the media and entertainment ecosystem to submit new ideas, breakthrough research, and practical insights that will educate and inspire a global audience of industry professionals.”
