FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NOVEMBER 16, 2011

LAS VEGAS, NV – Las Vegas based video and event production company, DAV Productions, announced the promotion of Amy Quigg to Vice President of Communications and Ryan Legue to Vice President of Sales & Marketing.

Amy Quigg is DAV Productions’ longest-tenured employee.  She began in the summer of 2000 as a video editor and it was immediately clear that she had the potential for much more than what she had been hired to do.

“We wouldn’t be the company we are today without Amy playing a significant role” says DAV Productions President Dave Schwarz.  “Every time we expanded our capabilities and developed new business, she stepped to new challenges without missing a beat.  From managing our media department, to writing concepts for national broadcast spots, Amy inspires everyone around with her energy, passion and creativity.”

Ryan Legue has led the DAV Productions’ sales team since 2002.  Ryan is responsible for securing the company’s largest clients and is highly regarded for his ability to deliver exceptional results.

According to CEO Ben Brownback “Ryan has always looked at our business from the perspective of upper management.  He builds teams, creates experiences, and thrills our customers; always with a high level of ownership.  He’s a key leader in our organization, and we’re pleased to formalize his position on the executive management team.”

“Both Amy and Ryan embody all of the qualities that you would hope for in members of your ‘inner circle’” says Brownback.  “They have the work ethic, leadership skills, and experience in the industry to help us build on our incredible momentum.  I’m grateful for what they bring to our team and honored to recognize them in this way.”

DAV’s Bobby Soto shot & edited a short video, highlighting the day’s activities.

These donated toys will help us bring hope and encouragement to over 3,500 children in the Clark County Foster Care System with the goal of helping each one of them to feel special and remembered during the holiday season.  The goal is to obtain 3,500 toys, one for each of the children in the Southern Nevada Foster Care System. This event will give hope to the 3,500 children in the Southern Nevada protective foster care system that have been neglected, abandoned, and abused.

We are excited to be just a small part of this toy drive.  Here’s our address if you have the means to contribute toys:

Long gone are the days of the traditional rectangular-shaped stage for the general sessions, we used a triangular one to bring the presenters and audience closer together. Over the course of the summit, Margaret Cho,      Meredith Baxter, Wilson Cruz, Kate Clinton, Andy Cohen and many more entertained the full house of attendees. With an entertainment line-up like that, we had to make sure everyone had a great view. We used three screens atop the stage to create a jumbo-tron setting and two additional screens were hung half-way through the room for delay, allowing for amazing video rolls throughout the entire room.

Every moment was captured throughout the week’s events for the highlight video that played at the last general session.

With over 100 different breakout sessions available, attendees had a busy week of learning, receiving hands-on guidance and having some fun mingling at the poolside reception. We provided lighting and audio for the reception, complete with a performance from Vegas’ own, a cappella group, Mosaic. For the closing session, our media team worked all week long to produce a highlight video of the week’s events.
