I look forward to demonstrating the evolution of Avatar with attendees, and am excited to be part of this world-class international event,” says Rivkin. “We are excited to present post-professionals with the new IBC Digital Media Training Workshops,” comments Ben Kozuch, co-founder, president and workshop chair, FMC. “As always, we wanted to provide our attendees with a keynote speaker that had a deep understanding of the industry’s latest innovations.
