Houston Videographers to Feature WEVA Ambassador Event On Wednesday September 12th
September 04, 2007
Sarasota, FL - Just back from WEVA International's most successful, and groundbreaking, Wedding & Event Video Expo to date, award-winning wedding videographer Natalie Neal of Glass Slipper Productions (pictured) will be headlining WEVA’s Ambassador Program presentation at the Houston Professional Videographers Association (HPVA) in Houston, TX on Wednesday, September 12th.
President of the GPVA, and producer of WEVA-TV’s popular Nat Chat vidcasts, Neal will be presenting "Sales, Marketing and Brides Oh My!" an interactive session that offers proven tips and tricks on making and closing video sales by getting inside the head of today’s bride.
Additionally, Neal, who directs the Local Association Ambassador Program along with WEVA’s Director of Educational Development John Zale, will share exciting details on WEVA's new educational initiatives for professional wedding and event videographers nationally and worldwide, including the launch of WEVA Latino Internacional. Neal will also be handing out sample issues of WEVA's latest Wedding & Event Videography Resource Guide, co-produced by NewBay Media (bring your business card to get this latest WEVA publication free at the event).
Just before WEVA EXPO 2007, Neal was the featured speaker at the newly-established Iowa Professional Videographers Association (IPVA) where IPVA President Julie Davis praised the Ambassador visit saying, "Thank you so much for bringing WEVA to Iowa through the visit of Natalie Neal. We all learned SO much. Natalie lights up a room with her presence and represents WEVA in a fun and professional way. It means so much to us to be recognized by this international organization."
As announced last fall in Boston, MA at the NPVA’s 20th Anniversary Celebration, the Ambassador Program is a professional development initiative that expands on eight years of WEVA Town Meeting events. Ambassador events provide information on key topics and industry developments tailored to the needs of local associations.
"The launch of the Ambassador Program reflects WEVA's ongoing support for local associations that started over 10 years ago," said Zale. "The Ambassador events being developed in conjunction with local associations are in harmony with WEVA's strategic initiatives at the national and international level, including our first-ever wedding videographers conference in Australia last May with PMA, the upcoming wedding videographers convention in Canada September 23-25, the new winter convention & trade show for wedding videographers January 29-31, 2008 in Las Vegas, the WEVA PR Committee's "Power of Video" presentations, the first-ever Engagements On Ice videos now playing on Brides.com, and many others. WEVA will be announcing more national and international educational initiatives shortly."
Videographers attending the HPVA event on September 12th can also win cool stuff in special Door Prize drawings at the event. For more information contact HPVA President Sandy Buller at [email protected] or email WEVA at [email protected].
