Argenas said new changes made to this year's events suggested by WEVA members have contributed to the high quality of the 2006 Tour. “Overall,” he related, “the 2006 WEVA Town Meeting Tour has been the association’s most successful Tour to date.
Bob Perl president of the Atlanta Videographers Association said, "The WEVA Town Meeting program was outstanding. The presentations we saw here in Atlanta, including the one on high-definition weddings, were awesome!"
Argenas noted, "From Philly to San Jose (pictured above) videographers have filled the WEVA Institute workshops. They have enjoyed interacting with Adobe and Sony products, the networking, demonstrations, and seeing the incredible new SD and HD video creativity that's been screened. The cutting-edge information on wedding and event videography being presented at each of the evening Town Meetings is inspiring videographers to reach up for the new industry developments on the horizon."
He added, "The news of WEVA’s groundbreaking strategic initiatives has been applauded at every city-stop. Videographers are excited by the new job opportunities they are learning about at each WEVA event. Brand new WEVA inititatives will be unveiled by WEVA Chairman Roy Chapman at the Town Meeting at NAB.”

“Anyone who’s heard Natalie speak at WEVA EXPO or on the WEVA Town Meeting Tour knows how much fun she injects into every presentation. Her lively ‘Nat Chat’ series for WEVA-TV has been putting our members in the spotlight all around the country on this year's Tour,” said Chapman. "It’s a new twist on idea-sharing and industry networking.”
