Don’t Miss Chris Hau Live on Stage

Canadian filmmaker and OWC Ambassador Chris Hau will share how he restructured his creative workflow from cloud dependency to a faster, safer hybrid approach using OWC hardware and software.

- Title: “Workflow Reboot: From Cloud Storage to Hybrid Systems with OWC Solutions with Chris Hau”

- When & Where: November 5, 5:30 – 6:15 PM, Main Stage B

- About the Talk: As creative professionals, we often rely on cloud drives to store, share, and collaborate - but what happens when that cloud storage no longer feels fully reliable, cost-effective, or performance-friendly? In this session, Chris Hau will walk you through how he reimagined his digital workflow, shifting from pure cloud storage toward a more resilient, hybrid model that combines cloud, work-fast local storage, and durable physical backups. You’ll learn: How to audit your current cloud storage: what files really need to stay online, what can be archived, and what really should live on fast local storage or physical drives. - A workflow blueprint: from capture → ingest → active edits → versioning → final export → archive. - Concrete use-cases with OWC solutions: how devices like their portable & desktop external SSDs, network-attached storage (NAS), and archive/tape solutions fit into each phase of your workflow. - Best practices for migrating large amounts of data: how to structure data, verify integrity (checksums, etc.), plan for redundancy, and avoid pitfalls (like partial uploads, version mismatches, unexpected costs). You’ll leave this session with a concrete plan to move toward a storage workflow that’s fast, safe, and fits both your creative needs and your peace of mind.

- About the Speaker: Chris Hau is a Canadian filmmaker, photographer, and digital creator recognized for his engaging presence on YouTube and Instagram. Blending storytelling, travel, tech, and auto content, Chris has collaborated with leading brands including Mercedes-Benz, Adobe, Fujifilm, Insta360, and Artlist, along with many others over the years.
