Adobe MAX is happening right now in Miami, and you can watch it for free.
Adobe MAX is the annual creative conference held by one of the world's biggest developers of creative software – the company behind industry-standard tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro and now Firefly AI. The event comes around every October and features guest speakers, product announcements and sneak peaks of things that Adobe is working on for the future.
Creative Bloq is attending the event in Miami from Monday 14 October to Wednesday 16 October, and we'll be reporting on all the major announcements. But anyone can take part in the event online to join workshops, discussion sessions and more (find out how below).
