Greetings, BAPVA members guests, and celebrities!

We hope you had a good holiday break and are ready to start back up with our regular meetings for 2009! We have a great year of informative and interesting topics and speakers lined up for you. There were many subjects we did not get to cover last year, plus more on the subjects you have told us are your top priorities, like marketing.

Our February 16th meeting is planned to be a great kick-off to the year. As our featured speaker, we are honored to have Jay Holben, the Technical Editor of DV Magazine. Jay has held an esteemed position in our industry for many years. No doubt that many of you have read some of his articles along the way. The subject matter is also somewhat of a kick-off to the year. He will give us a high level view of our industry, key trends (including fusion of video and photography technology), how we can deal with the downturn, his take on some of the new video production tools, and suggestions for staying fresh and competitive.

Please join us for an enjoyable and informative evening.


Main Program: Kick-off to 2009 with Jay Holben (Technical Editor of DV Magazine)

We are very pleased to have Jay Holben with us as the featured speaker for our February meeting. His talk is intended to provide an "orientation" for us as we kick into gear for our 2009 season. He will be providing some insight as to where we are as an industry, especially given the economic downturn, and what each of us can do to keep our businesses healthy. He'll review technology and tools, especially the fusion of video and photography technology. Finally, he'll provide us some guidance on how we can all embrace "continuous learning" to stay creatively fresh and competitive as we begin pursuing and booking business for the year.


Specific subjects to be covered:
- Industry Trends: recent past and future forecast (including the fusion of video and photography technology)
- Key elements of keeping the Event and Corporate Videography industry strong and growing
- Dealing with the downturn (what can each business owner do?)
- New equipment/tools highlights
- Recommendations for continuing education for videographers
