HD EXPO – MIDWEST HAD OVER 750 IN ATTENDANCE AND SOLD OUT EXHIBITOR/SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Burbank, CA– May 23, 2005 -- At HD EXPO – Midwest, held in Chicago on May 17th, the production and advertising communities attended panels, speakers, workshops, Sony’s Dreams 05, Flight screenings, and a hosted cocktail party at Columbia College, Film Row Cinema.
With the increased assimilation and acceptance of High Definition technology, HD EXPO is committed to bringing this information and the HD EXPO community to new regions. As the Midwest is a hotbed of production, and with Chicago being the second largest advertising city, the HD EXPO - Midwest was a logical choice for 2005.
“For our first time in Chicago, we were thrilled with the results. We exceeded our projections with over 750 in attendance, sold out our sponsor/exhibitor booth space, featured leaders and notables on the panels, and had standing room only for the workshops. We had a packed house. It looks like we will be returning to Chicago for another EXPO – how can we not!” said Kristin Petrovich, HD EXPO CEO/Founder.
“The Dreams screening was a joy for us, the quality of images and sound were great. And the audience was engaged and enthusiastic. I just love bringing Dreams to Chicago”, commented Ken Yagoda, Broadcast Producer-Creator of the Dreams series, and Former Director of Broadcast EVP at Young & Rubicam, NY.
HD EXPO has a full year ahead of EXPOs and Workshops. The next HD EXPO will be held in Los Angeles, November 3rd at the Petersen Automotive Museum. In addition, VariCamp and HD Workflow Workshops scheduled in New York, Connecticut, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Orlando with International destination soon to be announced.
HD EXPO creates a unique High Definition community through content-driven and theme-based venues where both film and video industry professionals learn more about high definition-related products, services and issues. HD EXPO is the first in the nation to produce high definition events of this genre and magnitude. HD EXPO stimulates interest in and increases exposure for participating sponsors/exhibitors; unites High Definition-related events, meetings and user groups under one banner; enables people to share technology, to mix within the industry, and to engage in hands-on education.
