Introduction to Adobe Express (formerly Adobe Spark)

Description:

Adobe Express (formerly Adobe Spark) is an all-in-one content creation app. It provides an easy-to-use solution for creating videos, flyers, infographics, and social media posts and stories. If you have used previous versions of the app, you may be surprised to see that it has been completely restructured and now includes generative AI (because of course it does…). Join us for an exploration / overview of this new (and hopefully improved) tool.

This discussion will take place online in Microsoft Teams. After registering in Eventbrite, you will be sent an Outlook invitation for the Teams meeting. If you would prefer to meet in-person, feel free to sign up for one of the face-to-face instances of this discussion.
