What to film
What's worth filming at eMerge Americas
eMerge brings startup founders, corporate buyers, investors and government teams to one floor for two days. A booth day turns that traffic into proof you can post the same week and use in every deck after.
Your demo, done right
The product demo filmed cleanly, with close-ups of the screen and hands, so it works without sound on LinkedIn.
Founder and expert interviews
Two-minute answers to the questions buyers and investors ask most, filmed at your booth.
Customer and partner voices
The pilots and partners who stop by, saying in their own words why it works.
Startups and pitch week
For startups in the showcase: booth clips and a short founder story you can send to investors after the week.
Badges: eMerge gives each exhibiting company exhibitor staff passes with its booth (four per 10×10 in the exhibit packages), registered by your company contact. A hired crew normally works on one of those passes; we confirm it with eMerge's registration team when you book.
Press passes are for press: eMerge approves media credentials for working journalists and creators, one per outlet, and doesn't allow selling on a media pass. A crew working for your booth uses your exhibitor passes.
Filming a session or a stage is different from filming your booth. The Miami Beach Convention Center charges an audio patch fee for commercial recording of sessions, and staging and AV work in the building is done by union crews. If you want a talk or a stage slot recorded, we'll check with you and the show first what applies.
No drones: the Miami Beach Convention Center doesn't allow them inside the building.

Common questions
How much does booth video at eMerge Americas cost?
At Video Department (VIDEO DEPT.), the Event Package is $3,000, fixed, for one show day of up to 8 hours at your booth: a 1–2 minute recap film in horizontal and vertical versions, 5 captioned interview reels and all the raw footage, delivered within a week with two rounds of changes. If you have your own editor, a filming-only camera day is $1,500, with the raw files sent the same night. More days or a second camera are quoted per show.
Which day should we pick?
The expo runs two days, March 3 and 4, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Day one is usually the busiest for demos and first meetings; day two works well for planned interviews with partners and customers. We can also cover both days.
Can you film our pitch at the startup showcase or on a stage?
Ask eMerge first whether exhibitors may record stage time. The Miami Beach Convention Center also charges an audio patch fee for commercial recording of sessions. If it's allowed, we'll quote the extra time and work with the show's AV team.
Can we post clips while the show is still on?
Yes. First clips arrive within 48 hours, so a day-one shoot can be on your LinkedIn on day two. The recap and the rest of the reels follow within a week.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and send a certificate of insurance (COI) with the additional insureds the show and the venue ask for. If the show has its own contractor form, we fill it in with you before the deadline.
When do we get the videos?
Within a week of the show, while the people you met are still warm leads. Two rounds of changes are included, and you own the final videos and all the raw footage.
