BanderasNews Videographer Devon Allistone gives us an inside look at all the fun and excitement at the 2008 UjENA Jam Expo.

"Puerto Vallarta - For models and photographers, the Jam Expo was the place to see and be seen during the 2008 UjENA Jam Puerto Vallarta.

Held at the Crown Paradise Hotel from August 26th through the 28th, the 2008 UjENA Jam Expo was not only where the models and photographers scheduled their shoots, but also where UjENA and their associate sponsors set up booths to highlight their products and services.

Ranging from unique Bottle Betty swim suits, which feature a decorative buckle that doubles as a bottle opener, and gorgeous natural stone and artistic glass jewelry by Sarina Store to organizational log books and software to help models and entertainers organize their careers from HoldonLog.com, there was something to help everyone look, and be, their best.

This year's Expo was one of the Jams busiest ever as sponsors and partners looked over image portfolios and interviewed participating models and photographers as they searched for talent to grace the pages of their magazines or catalogues.

In addition to the sponsor booths, the talent search, the "Makeup For Print" competition and the fashion shows, a variety of informative photography, lighting and modeling UjENA Talent Workshops also took place throughout the three-day event.

After spending some time in the Crown Paradise Conference Room with Jam participants, Devon understands why UjENA Public Relations Director Catherine Cross calls the Jam Expo "the Heartbeat of the UjENA Jam."
