Eric Edmeades, CEO of The Kerner Group, will be a featured panelist at the Toronto International Stereoscopic 3D Conference on June 12th, being held at Toronto’s TIFF Bell Lightbox. Edmeades will appear on the panel entitled “Stereography and Cinematography: Rendering 3D Space into a 3D Image.”
The panel is described as follows: “Capturing is the most critical part of the S3D ecosystem. In this panel, experienced cinematographers and stereographers share their particular expertise, present their tools and discuss their different approaches to how to best to render space, depth and texture onto the stereoscopic image.”
Joining Edmeades on that panel will be:
Paul Taylor – USA (Supervising Stereographer)
Peter Anderson, ASC – USA (Cinematographer)
Aleksander Melkumov – Russia (NIKFI)
Florian Maier – Germany (Supervising Stereographer)
Brent Robinson – Canada (Stereographer and Underwater Cinematographer)
In addition to his appearance in Toronto, Edmeades will also be the keynote speaker at four YES Group events in the UK late this month. The four presentations will take place over four consecutive evenings starting with Cardiff on June 27, and continuing on to Bristol (6/28), London (6/29) and Essex (6/30). The YES Group is a not-for-profit empowerment community of people and entrepreneurs. Edmeades will be addressing the YES Group membership on “Strategies for Personal and Entrepreneurial Success and Social Enterprise.”
YES Group events typically include speakers from a variety of disciplines, including diet and exercise, relationships, investment strategies and business or entrepreneurial success. The YES Group also undertakes a number of social
projects, including the Basket Brigade, which has their members and contributors collect and distribute food for families in need at Christmas.
The YES Group was originally founded by Karl Pearsall, who was inspired to do so after attending an event with Tony Robbins. The YES Group now has satellite groups in a variety of cities. Past keynote speakers have included Bob Proctor, Jason Vale, Jack Black, John DeMartini, Mark Victor Hansen and Peter Thomson.
"We’re proud to have Eric back," said Ken Abram, Chairman of the Cardiff YES Group, "It has been many years since Eric has been on our stage. Our members were so excited to have Eric back that we have actually scheduled an extra event so that we could be included in his UK tour. Eric has long been a member favorite. He always leaves our group with excellent ideas and, perhaps more importantly, practical and useable steps that make a real difference."

About THE YES GROUP
The YES Group is an international empowerment community inspired by Anthony Robbins. When YES Group founder arrived home after an inspirational seminar by Anthony Robbins, he decided to invite a few people from the seminar to attend regular monthly meetings. Over 15 years later those meetings have grown from the initial 20-30 people that attended them to several thousand people all over the planet.
The London YES Group was the first of these groups and has been holding events every month for almost 20 years. Over time, satellite YES Groups have popped up, first, all over the UK and then in other countries as well. YES Groups typically hold monthly events that create an excellent space for networking. Each event will typically have one or two speakers.
Tony Robbins also advocates community contribution and to that end each of the YES Groups also participate in a variety of social projects including Tony’s Basket Brigade which has the members collect and distribute food to families in need during the winter holidays.
