February 20, 2006 Las Vegas-based D A V Productions Providing Internship Program Unparalleled in Industry February 20, 2006 – Las Vegas – DAV Productions, a Las Vegas-based audio, video and lighting production company, has created an internship program for college students at the University of Illinois seeking experience in all facets of the industry, from event planning and production to sales meetings and client interaction. Three students from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign recently spent a week at DAV’s Las Vegas office, getting a firsthand look at the media, event production and sales departments. The interns participated in a 2-day, 3-camera studio shoot, numerous sales presentations and were given an inside look at how a small business operates. “We are very excited about the immediate success of our internship program,” said Ben Brownback, Vice President and COO of DAV Productions. “The real-world experience these students get in just a short time not only benefits them as they finish their educations, but gives them a more definitive perspective on the area they wish to specialize in once they graduate,” he added. “The experience at DAV Productions empowered us to see the positives and negatives of running a business and encouraged us to challenge ourselves,” said Lauren Chirico, Senior at the University of Illinois. “Whether it was company sales luncheons, being present for Mayor Goodman’s ‘State of the City’ address or being on the set of a Natalie Gulbis commercial shoot, it was exciting, educational and enjoyable,” she added. “I would say the DAV internship is the best internship I have ever experienced or even heard about,” said Rob Erickson, Senior at the University of Illinois. “In addition to providing me with invaluable experience, the DAV staff treated me like a member of their team as opposed to an outsider that would be leaving them in a few short days. This courtesy extended from virtually everybody and made for an excellent work environment,” he added. Abby Enrnzen agrees with her intern counterparts. “The internship at DAV was a snapshot of what a business owner goes through: dealing with the accountants, bankers, insurance agents, and lawyers while ensuring the departments under your control are communicating and functioning efficiently and properly to achieve the goals and mission of the company. But this snapshot was what I needed to connect each of these areas.” DAV Productions is a Las Vegas-based production company, serving the video and media needs of agencies and corporate clients, as well as the staging, labor and coordination requirements of tradeshows, conventions and special events. With a recent $1 million investment in cutting-edge audio, lighting and video technology, DAV Productions provides one of the most complete production solutions in Las Vegas.
