New Web Video Expo to Offer Real-world Solutions for Streaming Media Professionals

Las Vegas, NV, April 12, 2020 - From their booth (Sands #7051) at the annual National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention, the CMP DV (Digital Video) Media Group today announced the launch of Web Video Expo, a new conference and exposition for professionals involved in distributing video content over the Web. To maximize attendees' educational experience and investment, Web Video Expo will be colocated with the DV Group's flagship event, DV Expo, to be held October 2-6, 2000, in Long Beach, CA.

"We felt compelled to launch Web Video Expo as a result of the huge need for practical solutions for today's Web video challenges and the enormous success of our Web Video Boot Camp and of DV Web Video," explains Scott Gentry, publisher and group director of the CMP DV Group. The Web Video Boot Camp, a one-day workshop held at DV Expo '99, was extremely popular among DV Expo attendees. DV Web Video, the DV Group's new quarterly print and online publication focused on helping digital professionals distribute quality content over the Web, is making its debut to a very eager crowd at NAB2000. "We are thrilled to provide a forum for Web video professionals to glean insights, tips, and techniques and network with others who are making strides in this exciting new technology arena," Gentry adds.

Web Video Expo will offer technical and creative design classes for Web video professionals at all levels. These sessions will focus on important issues in Web video production, postproduction, and delivery. In addition, the sessions will address the business and legal concerns encountered when distributing video content over the Web.

"Those coming to Long Beach for Web Video Expo will have as many top-quality sessions to choose from as will those coming to DV Expo, which is now in its fourth year," states Gia Carunchio, associate show director of the CMP DV Group. "We believe this demonstrates our commitment to the exploding Web video industry," Carunchio says.

More than 10,000 digital video and Web video professionals are expected to attend DV Expo and Web Video Expo in 2000. Those who need more information or are interested in registering are encouraged to visit www.dvexpo.com and www.webvideoexpo.com.
