2012 PMA@CES to Offer Strong Conference Session Schedule

1367

PMA@CES will offer a full array of intriguing conference sessions and remains the place to learn about new innovations in the digital imaging/photography market, reconnect with industry colleagues and establish vital new business connections.

Two tracks certainly worth taking note of are “Young Guns of the Photo Industry” and “Mobile Imaging: State of the Industry Address.” Both are promising to offer a clearer picture of opportunities in the photo industry and the future direction of digital imaging.

Young Guns, Session ID – PMA 1 at The Venetian on Tuesday, January 10, moderated by Antonio Neves, will look at how some of the industry’s best and brightest retailers are successfully using tools such as the latest digital technology and social media to lift their locations to new heights.

6Sight’s Tony Henning will talk about all things mobile imaging, including the continued evolution of the smartphone and the new directions this category is taking in his “Mobile Imaging: State of the Industry Address” scheduled for The Venetian on Tuesday, January 10, Session ID – PMA 4.

                                   DIMA Programming Hits the Mark
And the always lively and informative DIMA program kicks things off on January 8-9, 2012, at Bally’s Las Vegas. Among the very full schedule they are offering this year are five tracks we think look very interesting:

There’s Profit in Them Thar Hills: How to Host a Photo Safari. Sunday, January 8, Session ID – D10, Venetian. Speaker, Mark Comon

Good News for Retailers with On-Site Output. Sunday, January 8, Session ID – D12. Speaker, Kurt H. Freund

Social Media Boot Camp Parts 1-4. Monday, January 9, Session IDs – D21, D25, D29, D33. Boot Camp Drill Sergeant, Georgia McCabe

Imaging Retail Store Start-up: Creating a Brand. Monday, January 9, Session ID – D20. Speakers, Debara Medina, Ron Inkley; Moderator, Dr. Glenn Omura

Everything Old Is New Again: New Equipment for DI Output,” Monday, January 9, Session ID – IST3

Show organizers are referring to DIMA as the unsung hero of the PMA@CES experience, giving attendees exposure to cutting-edge concepts, they explain, that help them market imaging products and services better, to build a stronger business base and to increase revenue—in short, to simply become more efficient retailers.
   
                   Technologies in Digital Photo Fulfillment (TDPF) Symposium
The third International Symposium on Technologies for Digital Photo Fulfillment (TDPF)—held this year as one of the educational tracks within DIMA—offers a unique opportunity for technical professionals and lab/store owners to meet and discuss the advances, synergies and future directions of creating, printing, sharing, displaying and archiving consumer and professional photos and photo-related products.

Sponsored by the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T), the conference addresses all aspects of generating consumer and professional photos—from capture devices such as cameraphones, digital still and HD video devices, and conventional color negative film to photographic image processing, sharing, archiving and various modes and methods of output. All types of output media and equipment are included. imaging.org/ist/index.cfm
