The PMC Guild hosted its third conference in July 2006 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Many of the conference programs included printed handouts. No one at the conference could attend all the seminars that caught their interest, and many PMC artists were unable to attend at all. For all of you, we've collected informative handouts and made them available here as PDFs and QuickTime movies.

Quicktime Presentations:

Many of the speakers have made their PowerPoint presentations available, but these are too large to be downloaded, (and they require a specific program for viewing). We have compressed the files into a movie format called mp4 that can be viewed with a free player called QuickTime. You probably already have QuickTime Player on your computer. If not, click here for a free download. Because of size restrictions, the photos and images will be fuzzy. This can't be helped.
If you still have trouble playing the files in Quicktime, download the linked files and try opening them in either Real Player or Windows Media Player.
Click on a link below to bring the presentation up in a popup window. To view, drag the small triangle slider across the bottom of the screen. Not as good as being there, but a generous resource all the same.
