As in previous years, the conference schedule will be anchored by main program presentations, curated by the HPA Tech Retreat’s organizer Mark Schubin.The HPA Tech Retreat has brought industry leading developments, expert opinion and connection to the media content creation community for more than 26 years. It is expected that 2021 will continue to further that trajectory, including the launch of HPA Engage, where compelling content will be available to members year-round.

HPA president Seth Hallen outlined the event, which has been reimagined for a virtual setting. “The focus of this year’s event – aptly described as exactly the same, completely different and over the top – brings the key elements of the HPA Tech Retreat directly to our audience. The critical parts of the Retreat: top-flight knowledge, the latest technological and product news and reviews, debate and discussion as well as the nearly legendary social networking, have a value that cannot be overstated. With that in mind, we are building an event that we believe will exceed expectations on all of those fronts.  It may not be the same physical event, but it will have all of the verve of the retreat in a different setting.”  

The main conference program runs February 15-26, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PST.

The HPA Tech Retreat Supersession, once again being led by Joachim Zell and Mark Chiolis is set for February 23 and 24, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm PST.

The breakfast and lunch roundtables will take place on February 16, 23 at 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. PST and on February 24 at 9:00 a.m. only.
