Adobe MAX 2013: 130 Hours of Classes and Sessions Online - Free!

[UPDATE (Oct. 2022) – Watch over 200 new courses & tutorials from MAX 2022 – free!]

Just back from Adobe MAX 2013 and as in previous experiences, it’s always the three most intense days of the year… It’s wall-to-wall with larger-than-life presentations, keynotes with creative luminaries, diverse educational sessions, connecting with other leaders in the Adobe space, hands-on with the latest design tools, meeting the product teams, feeling the energy of the show floor, the buzz over “Sneak Peek” demos of cool new technology, and of course the fantastical MAX Bash party with 5,000 of your closest friends.

But perhaps the best part for those who weren’t there is the majority of the sessions were captured on video and are now offered online for free… In other words, pick your favorite Adobe product(s) and you can learn the latest tips, tricks, and techniques from the top instructors in the field from the comfort of your desktop. There are five major tracks below (Design and Creativity, Web Experiences, Video, Gaming, and Digital Publishing) with scores of different topics; most sessions are about an hour long and the collection runs to nearly 130 hours of video in total.

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.

Of course, the biggest news out of the show was the launch of a major new upgrade to the Adobe’s industry-leading creative toolset with hundreds of new features, rebranded from CS and now called “CC”… We cover that in more detail here.

Adobe also revealed some whizzy new creative hardware initiatives, namely Project Mighty (an intelligent tablet stylus) and Napoleon (a tablet ruler). And the second day’s keynote presentation (available below) was packed with brilliant and famous artists stepping you through their creative processes and works, in truly fascinating and inspirational fashion.

But without further ado, here are all the best training and tutorial sessions direct from MAX, now free to watch…  130 hours – that’s 16 eight-hour days worth of content!  Dig in…
