SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The CMP DV Media Group today announced that its extensive catalog of DV Expo and Web Video Expo intensive workshops and sessions for digital video and Web video professionals is now available online at http://www.dvexpo.com/. DV Expo is the premier conference and tradeshow event for professionals working in all aspects of digital video production, postproduction, and delivery. Web Video Expo, which is making its debut this year, provides practical solutions for digital professionals who want to produce and distribute compelling rich media for the Web. To maximize attendees' educational experience and investment, Web Video Expo will be colocated with DV Expo October 2-6, 2000, in Long Beach, CA.

"The online conference catalog allows attendees to select their conference curriculum in advance, tailoring it to meet their individual interests," stated conference manager Andrea Moore. "Attendees may sign up for either DV Expo or Web Video Expo sessions or some of both, depending on their own professional needs," she said.

This year's combined DV Expo and Web Video Expo events offer more than 110 technical and creative design sessions and an expo hall with more than 100 companies showcasing the latest digital video and Web video technologies and tools.

The CMP DV Media Group launched Web Video Expo in 2000 as a result of the huge need on the part of video and Web professionals for practical solutions and clear-cut answers for creating and distributing video over the Web.

The list of distinguished DV Expo speakers includes Shannon Donnelly, senior producer, Disney Internet Group; Andrew Heimbold, co-founder, Reality Check Studios; Bill Holshevnikoff, lighting expert, Power of Lighting; Nels Johnson, president, Download Recordings; and Chris and Trish Meyer, principals, CyberMotion.

A partial list of the useful Web Video Expo sessions includes "Shooting Compression-Friendly Video," "Incorporating Video Into Web Page Design," "Live Webcasting -- Guerilla Style," "Interactivity on the Web," and "Getting Your Content Seen."

Industry experts slated to speak at Web Video Expo include Christopher Blandy, producer, News Digital Media, FoxSports.com; Scott Klososky, CEO, Webcasts.com/iBeam; David Pava, broadcast manager, eScene Networks; Jonathan Seelig, VP strategies and corporate development, Akamai Technologies; and Lynda Weinman, Web designer and author.

Also new this year, the full day DV Independent Film Symposium (DVIFS) on October 2 will present creative and technical sessions that will benefit both professional and aspiring filmmakers.
