"The fact that they are jointly participating in displayLA elevates the event, in its inaugural year, to the definitive showcase and conference of its kind."

"This significant industry support for displayLA is testament to the interest in this important topic.," says Leon Silverman, president of the Hollywood Post Alliance.
