[Filmfestivalresearch] SCMS 2012: Film and Media Festivals SIG conference events

Tue Mar 13 02:07:27 CET 2012

Hi all,

Due to my rather snug schedule, I'm not flying in until Thursday
afternoon. So I'll miss both the mixer and the SIG meeting, but I look
forward to seeing you all at later sessions, impromptu mixers, etc.

Safe travels,
Rob
