San Francisco, CA, September 25, 2020 -- The CMP DV Media Group today announced that pre-registration figures indicate the largest turnout ever for the upcoming DV Expo and Web Video Expo which will be held next week at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, CA. DV Expo is the largest event focused exclusively on the needs of creative professionals involved in digital video production, postproduction, and delivery. Web Video Expo is the largest event focused exclusively on the needs of creative professionals involved in producing and distributing dynamic visual content for the Web.

Since the launch of DV Expo in 1997, attendance at the trade show and conference has dramatically increased from approximately 1,700 the first year to almost 7,000 last year. With this year's projected attendance of more than 10,000, the dual focus show will be five times larger than the original. In addition, the expo floor at this year's event will be twice as large as at last year's DV Expo.

"DV Expo has earned a reputation for solid educational value for digital video professionals, and the introduction of the colocated Web Video Expo has created incredible interest among professionals working in the Web video arena," explained Scott Gentry, publisher and group director of the CMP DV Media Group. "Add to that the amazing growth in both the digital video and Web video markets, and you have a good idea of why we're expecting a record attendance this year."

Also adding significantly to this year's increased attendance figures are the number of professionals coming to the event from outside the United States. Attendees from 44 countries have pre-registered, including Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, and Canada.

DV Expo and Web Video Expo pre-registration data also indicates that the conference sessions of greatest interest to attendees will be "Understanding Optimized Content Distribution Networks," "High Quality Video Delivery on the Web," "Profitable Pricing and Scheduling Tactics," "Incorporating Video into Web Page Designs," and "The Art of Editing."

This year's combined DV Expo and Web Video Expo events offer more than 110 technical and creative design sessions and an expo hall with 100 companies showcasing the latest digital video and Web video technologies and tools covering more than 30,000 square feet of exhibit floor space. In addition, the newly added DV Independent Film Symposium provides both new and experienced professionals with opportunities to hear the latest from cutting edge indie filmmakers.
