So this year we’ve enlisted the help of two awesome Adobe NAB Social Media Insiders. They’ll be using Adobe tools to create video content highlighting some of the coolest, most fun, most pertinent events, topics and announcements going on at NAB 2015. Meet our Insiders:

CREATIVE MASTERS SERIES | Adventures in Filmmaking: From Saturday Night Live Shorts to A Feature Film
When: 10:30am–11:30am
Where: S220
About: Saturday Night Live’s Adam Epstein will talk about his creative journey, from creating short films for Saturday Night Live to his feature film Staten Island Summer, as part of the NAB Creative Masters Series. Moderated by Meagan Keane, senior marketing manager, Adobe.

Where: N252
About: Fifty percent of media education and training programs are female while only 18% of editors in Hollywood and beyond are women. The visibility of women in producing and coordinating roles is often cited, but there is an undeniable gender gap in technical roles—editing, visual effects, or sound design—and that gap has only widened since the 1970s. This panel will discuss the impact of gender equality in the post workplace, strategies for recognizing and un-learning our own internalized sexism, and how we can all work together to adjust hiring practices and erase gender biases in order to ensure the future of women in all post production roles.
Panelists: Kylee Wall, freelance editor and industry writer; Siân Fever, freelance editor; Megan McGough Christian, production manager for PBS Frontline; Ellen Wixted, senior product manager, Adobe. Moderated by Amy DeLouise, Amy DeLouise Consulting.
