Did you make it to MAX this year? Adobe’s Creativity Conference smashed all records with 7,000 attendees coming together in Los Angeles earlier this month, up from 5,000 just a couple years ago… And that was despite an increase in the cost of a full conference pass to US$1,595.
For the price of that ticket, participants enjoyed major new product launches, inspirational keynotes from creative luminaries, hundreds of enriching training sessions, plentiful opportunities for networking with colleagues, access to the latest cool technology on the pavilion floor, meeting the Adobe product teams in person, the highly-anticipated “Sneak Peek” demos of jaw-dropping new features under development, and of course the famous MAX Bash party. And this year, all attendees also received a free year of Adobe Stock as well as a new FUJIFILM X-T10 camera.
But if you didn’t make it, no worries – believe it or not, you can still tap into many of the best resources from the comfort of your own laptop, tablet, or phone!
The great news is that most of the courses were recorded on video and are now offered online – for free… In other words, pick your favorite Adobe tools and you can learn the latest tips, tricks and techniques from the best instructors in the field right from your desktop. There are six major tracks below (Creative Careers, Photography & Creative Imaging, Web & App Design, Digital Publishing, Graphic Design & Illustration, and Video) with many different topics; most classes are about an hour long and the complete collection of 173 videos runs to over 200 hours of training in total.
Special: Legally download dozens of free Adobe books for a limited time!
Experience the Creativity Conference – online. Adobe MAX gathers designers, developers, industry pros and visionaries to explore the latest technologies, techniques and strategies for delivering cutting edge creative work… Now available on-demand.
One really cool feature is you can download any of these presentations for later viewing offline on your computer… While watching your video online, just right-click on the playing window and select “Save video as…”, and then specify a location to save the video locally to your hard drive. The video will be downloaded in H.264 format with a .MP4 file extension, and can then be played back with almost any media player without an Internet connection, or transferred to a smartphone/iPhone or tablet/iPad for anywhere-anytime viewing.
So if you couldn’t make it to L.A. this year, or didn’t have the $1,595 to needed to attend, didn’t win our MAX ticket giveaway, or weren’t able to catch everything you wanted there, then here are all the best new training and tutorials direct from the show, now free to watch… Totaling 201 hours in duration, that’s 25 eight-hour days worth of content (for real) with unlimited access – exciting enough to keep you busy for a while!
The entire directory to all 173 recorded sessions is given below. Next year, MAX will be moving to San Diego on November 2-4, 2016 – and you can save $500 by preregistering here!
