TIVA-DC (and ITVA-DC before it) has participated in all ten previous GV Expos.  TIVA’s involvement at the GV Expo was a logical out growth of an ITVA sponsored trade fair that was hosted in the 1990’s called “ITVA Communications Day”.

At the upcoming GV Expo, over 250 vendors and 7,000 attending video professionals will join together for a hands-on review of the hottest products and services available.  Large vendors such as Sony, Apple and Panasonic, will share the show floor with local production houses and suppliers. Seminars on hot button topics will be offered and the local film and video community will benefit from the presence right here in DC, of a trade show that some are referring to as “NAB on the Potomac.”

The scope of TIVA’s participation in the GV Expo has grown right along with the Expo itself. The TIVA sponsored seminar called “Meet the Government Producers” (MGP) is consistently the most well attended panel at the Expo.  This year’s MGP will feature two large Government contractors, CACI and SAIC, who will discuss opportunities to contract with these companies. A security law expert will speak about the process of getting that all important security clearance.

To celebrate our continued presence and success at the GV Expo, we are offering you the largest discount on membership of the year!  Simply stated you can join or renew your membership in TIVA for only $50.  This discount can only be claimed at the TIVA booth (#242), and only during the two days of the Expo, Wednesday, Dec. 3rd and Thursday, Dec. 4th at the Washington Convention Center, located at 7th and Mt. Vernon Square, NW, Metro accessible by the Blue and Orange lines.

In 2007 this membership drive netted hundreds of new and returning members.  The activity at the booth was frantic as the volunteers struggled to keep up with the demand for discounted memberships.  You can come to our Booth on the show floor for free to claim your discounted membership.  However we suggest that you pre-register to avoid long lines at the door by going on-line towww.gvexpo.com.

So come to the Expo to get all of the benefits of TIVA-DC membership, for ½ price.  That includes discounts on our informative seminars, networking events and social gatherings. You’ll get a free monthly newsletter that we actually take the time to print out and mail to you.  You’ll get a free listing in our online production guide, access to TIVA-DC’s list serve, IForum, and discounts on the Peer Awards, the largest Film and Video competition in the mid-Atlantic region.

However, you must come to the Booth to get the discount.  See you at the Expo!
