MillimeterDigital Video Professionals Association launches new website
Dec 15, 2005 5:38 PM
To support the growing needs of the new media industry, the Digital Video Professionals Association (DVPA) announced the launch of a new website, including enhanced member services. As the largest organization in the world devoted exclusively to meeting the needs of professionals who use digital video technology, the Chicago-based DVPA underwent a year of planning and redevelopment to create a robust new website, giving its thousands of members easy access to leading industry news, training, discounts, and networking opportunities.
"We've invested a significant amount of time and resources to research the needs of our members and developed a website that offers a centralized and comprehensive collection of tools and resources to meet those needs," said Rod Harlan, DVPA's executive director. Through its website, DVPA delivers digital video news, reviews, and tutorials from throughout the industry, a discount buyers program that offers members significant deals on most software and hardware related to the industry, and the largest online training university in the industry with over 50,000 video files on virtually every software application for new media professionals. "DVPA is committed to providing affordable access to new media information, education, and training that will benefit our members and, in turn, benefit their clients and the visual medium as a whole."
According to Harlan, the newly launched website provides members with a number of improved member resources, including a new industry job bank, increased industry news coverage, updated stock footage directories, new membership directory, film school directory, U.S. states film commission directory, casting notices, equipment classifieds and expanded online articles archive for all of the major industry publications. There are also FREE resources for non-members including an industry newsstand and industry events calendar available at www.dvpa.org.
Incorporated in 1998, the Digital Video Professionals Association began in the early 1990s as an online community for industry professionals and has grown to be the largest organization in the world exclusively devoted to meeting the educational, informational and networking needs of those who use DV technology.
