HPA & SMPTE Hollywood Industry Meet-Up

HPA teams with SMPTE Hollywood for a laid-back industry meet-up aimed at creatives, post and media technologists, and people who build tools for the entertainment stack. It is explicitly outside the conference-room format: no-host bar, familiar faces, and new introductions in a Burbank neighborhood room.

Thursday, August 27, 2026, 6:00-8:00 PM at Magnolia Corner Bar & Grill (2623 West Magnolia Boulevard, Burbank). RSVP is required and space is limited on the HPA event page. Membership helps; non-members should confirm access notes before assuming walk-in entry.

Go if you work Hollywood craft, post, media tech, or adjacent product and want association peer density without a panel. Pair it with SoCalBio earlier the same afternoon only if your calendar and commute can handle Westwood then Burbank. RSVP early; limited-capacity association nights fill.
