BCPVA Video Innovation Awards at NAB 2011
While working the Las Vegas Convention Centre floors for NAB, the video industry’s largest trade show, I had two important roles. I was representing EventDV Magazine & EventDV Live as a contributing editor and product reviewer and at the same time, the BC Professional Videographers Association, as the delegate in charge of the new BCPVA Video Innovation Awards.
In total I awarded five Video Innovation Awards to companies who announced products that are game changers for our membership, comprised of corporate and even video producers and small business owners. Here is what I wrote on the BCPVA blog regarding the 2011 BCPVA VIAs – be sure to click the links to read about the innovative products these five companies announced at NAB 2011.
