CVP Summer Kit Fest 2024

CVP Summer Kit Fest 2024 is a two-day event in London, Wednesday July 24 and Thursday July 25 ((11:00 – 18:00).
It will be like a walking tour (kit scavenger hunt? pub crawl?) of trendy Fitzrovia. Your waypoints are four company showrooms, kitted out with the latest equipment and presumably hydrating and nourishing refreshments. I still have trouble thinking of kit as equipment and not a toy model. A quick detour via OED cites T. E. Lawrence (after Arabia), “Sergeant take this man to the Q.M. Stores, kit him at once, and put him into the first train…”
Anyway, your adventure begins at CVP Quartermaster Stores and Fitzrovia Showroom where you pick up your badge. read more…

Cine Gear Expo NYC 2024

Who said New York is a tough town for motion picture trade shows? After a great launch last year, Cine Gear Expo NY returns to Industry City in Brooklyn New York on March 14-16.
Register here—free through March 9.
This is not a convention center where, to misquote Truffaut, if prisoners were forced to eat the food inside, they’d rebel. You will not go hungry in Industry City. In fact, you will want to linger longer and enjoy the area, sometimes called Brooklyn’s playground or backyard.
Industry City in Brooklyn is a trendy, interesting, fun 137-acre area with offices, shopping, events, dining and more. Japan Village has a huge Japanese market with food stalls, an Izakaya restaurant, sushi, sake and Japanese groceries. Moore Brothers Wine Company has some of the best selections in the city and is cooled to 55 degrees F.
In between seminars and hands-on equipment exhibits at Cine Gear Expo NYC, wander around the businesses in Industry City. Buy a Volvo or Porsche. Furnish your home at West Elm or the Design Within Reach outlet store. Buy a computer, SSDs and media cards at Micro Center. read more…
