Jackson, MI—PMA announced that the 2015 PMA@CES will take place January 6–9, 2015 in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, the same venue as the 2015 International CES.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce PMA is returning to its old home, the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, in 2015,” said Jim Esp, PMA executive director. “Being located in the same venue as CES will be a boon to PMA@CES exhibitors and attendees. With more convenient access to everything International CES has to offer, the 2015 PMA@CES will be the place for all things digital imaging.”

Space selection for the 2015 PMA@CES began by appointment on January 9, during the 2014 PMA@CES.

In related news, PMA elected Bill Eklund of Sharp Photo & Portrait, located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, as president for 2014–2015 at a 2014 PMA official business session held during 2014 PMA@CES in Las Vegas.

“I am very pleased to announce Bill Eklund as my successor as president of PMA,” said outgoing president Allen Showalter of King Photo/Showalter Imaging Group, who concluded his third term as PMA president. “The past few years have been a time of major transition for PMA, just as they have been for the entire industry. We have become a much leaner, more nimble and highly responsive organization, with a clear vision for a very bright future. Everything we do today is about one thing: fulfilling our mission, which is to promote the growth of the imaging industry. Bill shares our laser focus on this single objective.”

Other officers elected for the 2014–2015 term are Gabrielle Mullinax, Fullerton Photo, senior vice president; Jerry Sullivan, Precision Camera Inc., vice president; Mark Klostermeyer, MCPF, Design Frames LLC, treasurer; and Jim Esp, PMA, executive director.
