PMA 2008: Special offer to attendees in Las Vegas, NV

From January 31 to February 2, 2008, PMA 2008 will light up the Las Vegas strip with a celebration of all things relating to "memory making"—or the art, business, and technology of the photograph. Over 200 educational sessions are being offered, and 600 exhibitors representing camera-makers and imaging technology companies will be in attendance. During the event, 23 participating hotels will offer special accomodation rates to PMA attendees. Booking must be made by December 2, 2007.

From the PMA's website:

"PMA represents 20,000 members in 100-plus countries who actively contribute to the expanding $83 billion imaging industry. As photo imaging continues to evolve, this association has grown to represent the diversity in imaging: photo retailers and processors, manufacturers, commercial imaging labs, sports and event photography, custom picture frame shops, and scrapbook retailers. PMA is committed to helping these segments increase their profitability and expand their consumer, commercial and industrial markets."

For 83 years, PMA (formerly known as the Photo Finishers Association of America) has helped in connecting photographic imaging businesses with one another via a network of knowledge and professional support. PMA is now comprised of a varied mix of businesses, both national and international, including school photographers, commercial studios, custom frame shops, scrapbook retailers, and photographers of all kinds. PMA 2008 is being boasted as the world's largest annual international photography event.

Registration for the event opened September 28, 2007, and will remain so until January 2, 2008. Registration for the full show is $49 for PMA members and $99 for non-members. Membership sign-up is available as part of the registration process for newcomers. Click here for more information.
