Sessions range from beginner to advanced. We recommend attendees have a solid knowledge and proficiency of Adobe Creative Cloud tools and services.

To help select sessions that are appropriate for your skill level, MAX technical levels are defined as follows:

• Beginner: This product or topic is either new to you, or you’d like to brush up and focus on basic and essential skills, techniques and industry standards.
• Intermediate: Take your skills to the next level with content geared to refining and expanding your mastery of basic skills of the featured product.
• Advanced: You live in this featured product every day and consider yourself a master of its tools. These sessions will provide the latest and most advanced techniques to enhance your workflow.

This filter allows you to narrow your search results based on the level of AI that you’re looking for by selecting one of the following values:

• AI Forward: AI is present throughout — whether generating your creative direction or powering your workflow from start to finish
• AI Supported: You’re in the creative driver’s seat, with AI handling some tasks and streamlining your workflow
• Traditional Techniques: You drive every decision with traditional tools — minimal to no AI involved
