Promoting Metro Orlando On-The-Road
EDC staff were busy promoting our region from coast to coast
this week. Their goal: to highlight Central Florida's advantages
for business, especially in the film and technology industries.
Sheena Fowler, EDC associate director of film & television, was
in Miami for the National Association of Television Program
Executives (NATPE) conference. She presented the region as a
location for television production and met with several producers
and studio heads. The EDC also partnered with Film Florida on a
panel session on "TV Set in Florida" designed to showcase the
advantages of production in the sunshine state. Next week, Sheena
will travel to Washington, D.C. for the RealScreen Summit, the
premier non-fiction film and television event to promote Central
Florida as a filming location for non-fiction. Shelly Weidenhamer,
EDC director of business development, was in San Francisco for SPIE
Photonics West, an annual gathering of lasers, optics and photonics
company executives. This specialized industry has a strong base in
Central Florida. The EDC also partnered with Enterprise Florida,
the University of Central Florida and the Florida Photonics Cluster
in representing this important cluster. This EDC has become
recognized as an industry leader in the use of social media efforts
to maximize impact before, during and after conference
participation and sales missions. This week's activities reflected
that. In order to stand out in the crowd, the EDC scheduled tweets
designed to attract the attention of festival-goers. Here are a few
samples:
- At #NATPE? Today @ 1:30 in the Flash Ballroom of the Versailles
Tower, attend the "TV Set in Florida" panel by Film Florida
- Did you know Orlando based @UCF #CREOL is one of only three
Centers of Excellence in optics + photonics? http://ow.ly/8DsJ9
