An Active Community of Engaged Video Professionals

Many people working in Calgary video production don’t have access to a broader base of knowledge and support. We know how confining that can feel.

Since 2006, the CPVA has been bringing together Calgary videographers for industry networking and to share lessons learned on the job.

Our ultimate aim is to help each other do the best possible job for our clients.

We believe that sharing knowledge and experience offers tremendous value and can only help our businesses succeed and grow.

And if you work in video production, we can do the same for you.

Most video businesses without connections struggle to succeed

Those working in Calgary video production often do so alone, or with the same small group. Without wider industry connections, they may find long-term success difficult.

  • Do you feel isolated in the video industry?
  • Unsure where to find help when you need it?
  • Do you struggle to attract ideal clients for your video business?

Joining a supportive video industry association can help you overcome these challenges and thrive.
