Exhibitors Expanding for Wedding & Event Video Expo 2006
July 17, 2006
Sarasota, FL - For the WEVA 16th Annual Wedding & Event Video Expo (Aug. 21-24, 2006) major manufacturers will be bringing new SD/HD hardware and software to the Trade Show that can increase workflow efficiency and expand production opportunities, at lower costs, for professional wedding & event videographers.
"A Partial List of Exhibitors is posted on the WEVA EXPO 2006 website. Click on 'Trade Show,' when you enter the EXPO site to view the list," said WEVA International Director of Association Communications Dan Argenas. "A special Early-Bird registration discount is also available online for a limited time, or call the EXPO registration office at 1-800-805-3976.
Exhibitors such as Adobe Systems Sony, Avid Technology, JVC Professional Products, Canopus, Panasonic Broadcast, and others are maintaining or enlarging their jumbo floor space over last year in order to allow videographers increased access to computer workstations and “hands-on” access to new camcorders and products that can offer new money-earning capabilities for professional wedding and event videography.
New EXPO Equipment Financing Program Helps Members Make Purchases
Already activated in time for this year’s EXPO at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV is a new, low-cost EXPO Equipment Financing Program for WEVA members through Independent Leasing Associates developed exclusively for WEVA in response to member requests. It means videographers can go to the Trade Show knowing they already have funds in hand to make purchases that can help their business achieve greater success.
"This new program is an alternative to 'all cash up front' transactions at WEVA EXPO 2006. Videographers can attend EXPO with the ability to purchase any equipment or software at the Trade Show that is needed to expand or improve their business,” said Bob Bell President of Independent Leasing Associates. “That is effective business growth!”
Many WEVA members, Bell noted, have already applied and been approved for the new EXPO purchase power since the special financing program for WEVA members was first announced on WEVA Industry News.
The new program offers a convenient alternative to high-interest credit card payments, and to complex requirements often involved with bank loans. ILA’s EXPO Financing Program, said Bell, offers advantages that include:.
* Up to $100,000 for equipment acquisition with application only (no tax returns or financial statements required) with competitive rates.
* Show WEVA EXPO 2006 exhibitors your “pre-approved” EFP card and take advantage of the excellent “EXPO Only” specials at the Trade Show by being pre-approved.
* Special rebate for WEVA members only equal to 2% of the equipment cost (maximum rebate is $1,000).
* Unlike putting new equipment on a credit card or bank loan, the EFP advantage does not affect your credit scores or ratios.
* Trade Show Example: With the EFP advantage, a new high-definition camcorder can be purchased for less than $200 a month.
* Most EFP applications are processed within 24 hours.
ILA has provided videographers with an instant, online monthly payment calculator to assist in the budgeting for videography equipment needs. To access ILA’s secure monthly calculator - Click Here.
