WEVA Teams With CMP Entertainment Media to Produce Powerful New Industry Resources
April 22, 2006
Sarasota, FL - The Wedding & Event Videographers Association International (WEVA) and CMP Entertainment Media Inc., (CMP EM) one of the world’s largest publishers of technology periodicals, including Videography, DV, Government Video, Television Broadcast, and Digital Cinematography, have signed an agreement for CMP EM to be the producer of new print and online industry resources for WEVA, the world’s largest trade association for professional videographers.
Effective immediately, the agreement provides for CMP EM to be the producer of brand new WEVA International Buyer’s Guide resources online and in print. Additionally, CMP EM will produce the on-site convention Show Guide publication for WEVA’s annual Wedding & Event Video Expo starting with this year’s 16th Annual WEVA EXPO August 21-24, 2006 at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, NV.
"CMP EM has a stellar reputation of producing high-quality media, and major industry conferences," said WEVA International Chairman Roy Chapman. "In this new era of portable video, ‘broadband for everyone’ and HD moving in, we are excited about our new partnership with CMP EM. Their authoritative and extensive worldwide editorial assets will enable the production of powerful new resources for wedding and event videographers nationally and internationally."
The new WEVA Buyer’s Guide resources produced by CMP EM, "will be the first dedicated specifically to serving the needs and interests of wedding and event videographers," said WEVA’s Director of Association Communications Dan Argenas.
"The WEVA Buyer’s Guides will be much more than a directory of industry vendors and their company descriptions," Argenas said. “Both the online and print versions will combine the extensive resources of both CMP EM and WEVA to offer our members a wide range of cutting-edge reports on new and emerging technologies, wedding and event video shooting and editing techniques, video artistry, new product reviews, system-specific tutorials, spotlight articles on WEVA members, plus new marketing information, and more."
Argenas added, "This new and expanded communications vehicle will provide WEVA with more than just a print magazine, and more than a strictly online approach to providing wedding and event video news and features to our members. It represents an advanced 'multi' media integration that combines the best of both print and web-based delivery formats. In other words, a total solution."
WEVA and CMP EM, Argenas noted, have been in strategic media partnership discussions for over a year. "Our goal has been to develop new educational resources, technology platforms, and other related benefits in order to expand the ability of our members to reach into current and emerging markets and achieve new levels of success in their business."
WEVA and CMP EM will be announcing further details of their new agreement at the WEVA Town Meeting at NAB this Tuesday April 25th at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. Admission is free and open to professional videographers (members and non-members) and their guests. For more information on this special WEVA NAB event visit www.wevatownmeeting.com
