Chicago, IL - The Illinois Videographers Association (IVA), based in the Chicagoland area, will be hosting the first IVA Midwest Expo on Tuesday, May 15, 2007.
"We are a strong association with many talented and involved members, and we want to draw attention to the quality programs we offer through IVA. The goal is to offer continuing education seminars to those in the Midwest area and to gain more members for our association," says IVA President Keith Kelly.
There will be five seminars during the day from nationally known, award-winning speakers, including: Chris Chibucos of Furla Vision on "Concept Video Love Stories;” Keith Kelly of Innovative Communications on "Secrets of Great One Camera Receptions (with a Multi-Camera look);” Josh Fozzard of Pickwhip Studios on "Adobe AfferEffects: Easy, Creative Templates;" Kris Malandruccolo of Elegant Videos by Kris on "The Power of Video & Getting More Business With Better Marketing;” and Brian Gunn & Lance Gray of Pixelpops on "Free Downloads to Maximize Creativity.”
During the regular monthly IVA meeting that follows the daytime seminars, Brian Gunn & Lance Gray of Pixelpops will also be the featured speakers on: "How to Benefit from Personality Assessment;" "The Power of the Plug-In" and "Preserving Legacy Money Makers for Your Business."
Cost will be $59.00 for IVA members and $79.00 for non-members, and includes a catered lunch.
The association is also offering a limited number of sponsorship opportunities to select organizations. Sponsors will be given a table in our exhibitor area which will be open to attendees all day as the seminars are conducted in the adjacent room, and also during the break before the general meeting.
