Thank you for those who came to the social in July, we are back to our regular format for August at a new venue in AWS on Market St (Not Park St) as the Start up Hub is winding down.

With lucky timing again we have US friends, Simon cofounder of Fastly travelling through Sydney as well as Iain from Blackmagic.

**[Iain Waugh - Engineering Manager @ Blackmagic](https://www.linkedin.com/in/iwaugh/)**
Iain is engineering manager at Blackmagic in Sydney. His deep subject matter expertise and practical experience always makes for a great conversation. He'll be talking about the behind-the-curtains video codec and compression settings and the effect these make to the real world.
