Hi everyone,
There have been a few questions recently regarding workshop availability.
I will say that the plan was always to allow people to sign up to workshops on the day. The reason behind not putting a sign up sheet online was that I wanted everyone to have a fair chance of signing up, not just the people that heard about the event first. We unfortunately just don’t have the facilities time or space to run workshops for 120+ people at a time. To this end we have worked exceptionally hard to make sure that the price is very good for the amount and quality of presentations that are available over the two days.
I do not however, want it to be the case that people are disqualified from this opportunity because of travel arrangements, so have made sign up sheets available online. All the workshop providers have asked that participants bring a Laptop, (preferably fully charged:)) some do also have special requirements that are detailed on their respective pages.
Both workshops on each day will be running simultaneously meaning it would be possible to attend at most two of the four.
I hope this clears up any confusion.
We are really looking forward to meeting all of you over the weekend!
Hi everyone,
Just a quick post to say that due to too many people trying to buy tickets at the same time yesterday, our system temporarily crashed!!! Massive apologies to anybody who was affected by this, but please know that the problem has been rectified and some tickets are still available!
Many Thanks
Running from the 13-14th January from 10am – 6.30pm, the M4 Users Convention will bring together users of the popular programming software MAX, and its related programmes MSP, Jitter and Max for Live. The conference will be the first convention of its type held outside the US and will feature a keynote address by David Zicarelli, founder of Cycling ’74, the Californian company behind the software, as well as presentations and workshops from a range of international speakers. There will also be exhibitions and performances open to the public.
With its straightforward building-block approach to programming, MAX software enables people across a wide variety of disciplines to create exciting new work – musicians can create unique sound-making tools and instruments; artists can build installations which respond to viewer interaction; and exhibition designers can create educational exhibits which engage museum customers.
Tickets for the Convention are priced at £40 for the full two days or £30 for one day. There are also concession prices and early-bird discounts.
Cycling ’74 creates software for the specialized needs of artists, educators, and researchers working with audio, visual media, and physical computing. The company’s visual programming tools Max, MSP, Jitter, and Gen serve as the creative engine behind thousands of innovative projects. The company was formed in 1997 by David Zicarelli and has approximately 25 employees and consultants worldwide. More at cycling74.com
