For the District 53 Annual Conference, among our methods of marketing, we will be using videos to promote the. event. We are looking for District 53 members to contribute by being some of our videographers and get their own thoughts and reaction reactions about past District 53 conferences they have attended, and the reactions of other members. Just. short snippets – about 10-15 seconds each member!

Anyone can be the next Steven Spielberg or Martin Scorsese and start working towards that Emmy!

Follow these three easy steps:

  1. Once you determine someone has attended a District 53 conference, please let them know that their video will most likely be part of a conference promotional video and posted to the District 53 website and District 53 social media and confirm that it is acceptable.
  2. Take a short video of that person talking about District 53 conferences. You may ask any question(s), including the examples below. For context, please include the question in the video. There is no limit to. the number of videos you can upload.
  3. Upload your video(s) to https://tinyurl.com/D53ConfVideoUpload.
    1. Please make the filename the person on camera. If there is more than one person in the video, name it where it was taken (club name, contest, etc.).
    2. Please email the name and club to District 53 Annual Conference 2025 Video Promotion Chair,  David Freedman, DTM (dsfreedman@gmail.com).

Do you need sample questions? Try these:

  • “What did you like about the District 53 Conference(s) you’ve attended?”
  • “Why would you recommend fellow members attend future District 53 Conferences?”
  • “What was your favorite part(s) of the conferences you attended?”
  • “What gets you to attend District 53 Conferences?”
  • “What are your top 3 events during the day at any District 53 conference you attended?”

You can send one video with multiple people in it – there is no size limit on uploads.

Videos might become part of several montages that will be used throughout the year to promote the conference! Watch them to find the secret clue! Look for it in the District 53 Newsletter! If you have any questions and/or ideas on how we can use video to promote the conference please reach out to David Freedman (dsfreedman@gmail.com).  

We appreciate your contributions to making our annual District 53 Conference a huge success!
