| LIVE EVENT TIP | |
TIP: If your event is driven by sponsors, consider the advantages of documenting your event through photography and video. A post event edited video can help your event planning team sell the event to future sponsors. Be sure the video or photographs shows how sponsors receive maximum exposure. AXE Productions often produces a special book of the event as well as edited videos, which have served organizations such as the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce to promote their key events to sponsors.
