PMA 2008

The Photo Marketing Association International has again joined forces with the Photo Imaging Council of Australia
to promote the new show concept for the Asia-Pacific photo imaging industry

The first PMA Australia show was held in Melbourne last May and set new records of attendance for retail, business, professional and consumer categories.

This year, the show organisers are confident they will attract nearly 20,000 visitors.

The show is a must attend event for photo trade, professional photographers, graphic arts, government, business and keen photography hobbyists

NEW CONFERENCE STREAMS
Two new streams will be introduced at the Brisbane show. The Dealer Home and Mobile Entertainment program will directly tackle the issues faced by retailers active in consumer electronics. This is the first time Australian CE retailers will have had access to an independent rather than a non-manufacturer or retail group specific conference and it is anticipated that it will open up new areas of profit making for delegates.

A Mobile Imaging program will also feature heavily on the conference program to help business develop new profit centres arising out of product convergence.

The Emerging Technology and Print Technology Conferences will again feature on the program and be heavily promoted as show organisers look to strengthen the growing relationships with the graphic artist, advertising and wide format print community.

Professional programs will also include ACMP and AIPP conference programs and the judging of the AIPP Professional Photography of the Year Awards.

Separate trade only doors and special trade only areas in the larger stands will ensure retailer needs can be met by exhibitors at all times.

Special buying offices and conference facilities for major retail groups such as Harvey Norman, Retravision, and Camera House will be provided.
