It means this year’s groundbreaking event is set to be the most skill-building, most inspiring, and most successful for videographers to date.”
Many videographers coming to WEVA EXPO are anxious to get started even before the doors officially open at 5:45 pm Monday, August 21st. At 10:30 am WEVA will be hold a special 90-minute orientation for first-time EXPO attendees.
On Monday afternoon, in addition to optional pre-convention workshops, Adobe Systems will be providing instruction on its new and powerful Production Suite editing software during the hours of 1pm-5:30pm. It’s free to registered EXPO attendees who sign-up in advance.
Another sneak peek at the 2006 convention programming reveals that this year videographers will be invited to bring popular camcorders to WEVA EXPO to participate in special tech sessions called “Camera Clinics." The sessions, which will repeat during the EXPO, will provide hands-on training in specific camera operations, including how to customize your settings for optimum results.
WEVA EXPO 2006, Zale added, “will draw on current and evolving technologies, including HD/HDV, and new media technologies like portable video, to enable wedding and event videographers to reach a whole new level of creativity, skill-sets, and profitability. Attendees will discover how to use cutting-edge technology and techniques to get the upper-hand not just in workflow, but in other key areas, including marketing and sales, Internet video, and in the increasing opportunities emerging for weekday work.” EXPO registration will open soon on the WEVA website.
