    NEW YORK, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- All participants of the upcoming
Government Video and Technology Expo (GVExpo) will have the opportunity to
make silent auction bids on video and multimedia products and at the same time
support military and humanitarian charities, in the first ever GVExpo Silent
Auction. GVExpo is being held November 30 to December 1 at the Washington DC
Convention Center.
    GVExpo exhibitors are donating various video and multimedia products to
the auction, and all proceeds will be distributed among charities including
The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program, Unmet Needs, Army
Emergency Relief (AER), and the American Red Cross Hurricane Katrina relief
efforts.
    On both November 30 and December 1 a selection of products will be
featured and will be available for silent bids during GVExpo show hours.
Different technology products will be offered each day.  Full auction product
listings will be available in the GVExpo Show Guide, available throughout the
event, as well as on http://www.gvexpo.com beginning October 7.
    Now in its eighth year, GVExpo is the premier government video, broadcast,

magazines. The three-day event includes a show floor featuring more than 300
exhibitors; free educational sessions and hands-on demonstrations in the Tech
Focus Forum; the Digital Signage Zone; the Collaborative Conferencing
Communications Center; and two separate conferences, the GovernmentVideo
Conference Program and DigitalMediaDC (DMDC). Admission to the GVExpo exhibit
hall and in-hall educational sessions including the Keynote Address and Tech
Focus Forum is free for registered attendees. The two conference programs
require separate registration.
    "Our exhibitors have been very generous in donating products to this
effort, and we see it as an effective way to support charities which our
attendees have strong ties to," says Linda Cohen, Show Director GVExpo. "It
will also be a great way for participants to either bid on production
equipment that they've been researching, or to find holiday gifts like
vacations or digital cameras," she continues.
