Avid Customer Association Rewind: Our First Year Accomplishments

Avid Blogs by Jennifer Smith

It?s always exciting to see something new take shape, and in 2014 I had a front row seat to watch the exciting development of the Avid Customer Association.

Meeting Demand

The ACA was formed in response to pent-up demand for structured collaboration and deeper engagement within the Avid community. Avid solutions are used to engineer the most heart-pounding live concerts, edit the most recognized films and TV programs, produce the news shows you?ll watch later tonight, and educate the next generation of aspiring artists.

The ACA goes beyond the online ?tips and techniques? communities that have existed for years and beyond the typical meet-ups and seminars. With the help of leaders from some of the world?s premier media companies and educational institutions, the ACA looks at big picture issues that our industry is facing today and identifies opportunities for the future.

Incredible Growth Coupled with a Bold Agenda

It is truly an association led by our customers for our customers. read more...
