The MUG Event Calendar for September 22: Adam Pratt of Adobe, Derrick Story, Tom Negrino, Dori Smith, Burt Monroy, Final Cut Pro User Group Meetings and More
This week’s MUG Event Calendar is highlighted by Final Cut Pro User Group meetings and a regional Mac expo.
Adam Pratt of Adobe will be presenting the new Creative Suite 4 in Ohio, and there are Final Cut Pro User Group meetings scheduled from coast to coast, north to south this week, with six different FCPUG’s showing off a wide variety of hardware, software and techniques for Mac video enthusiasts.
A MUG-sponsored expo in California features not only appearances by photography expert Derrick Story, Mac authors and experts Tom Negrino and Dori Smith and graphics wizard Burt Monroy, but also a host of Mac vendors showing off their offerings.
Other topics on this week’s schedule include iWeb, the iPHone 3G, FileMaker, Bento, MobileMe and more.
