Expo Attendees Share Some of Their Experiences
Expo in 2011 had a big impact on me. I was in grad school at the time, and I was struck by the number of Max users in attendance, inspirational artist talks, and concerts. Now I teach a course in Max at my university.
Nick HwangFrom my experience at Expo, I would want others to know that many Cycling '74 devs were there. The best part for me was when they all sat on the stage and were open for questions.
Mattijs KneppersExpo was a great way to connect with Maxers from all corners of the world and find out about the newest developments from Cycling ’74. I still refer to the patches and info I picked up in the workshops.
Holland HobsonExpo ‘74 is a great conference for everyone regardless of personal creative interests and familiarity with Max; composers, artists, performers, educators, and developers in varying genres all get together and talk about facilitating their unique ideas with Max. Who’s not gonna enjoy a conference like that?!

Expo is an interactive experience with a variety of social and educational events.

These people for many of us are, almost always, intangible: we have never met in person. I cannot imagine a more propitious place to establish these relationships than during a C74 Expo.

... the people who signed up were a fantastic group. They were both interesting and interested in each other.

Presenters
... a selection of people that would simultaneously inspire the attendees and prevent them from drawing any conclusions about there being a "right" way to use the software.
