On October 27-29, Photo District News held its annual PhotoPlus International Conference and Expo at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC. The event sponsored seminars by professionals in the ‘imaging’ field. Attendees got to see some of the latest products coming on the market, including the much anticipated Nikon D7000. Nikon provided attendees with the opportunity to try out some of their cameras and shoot models. Sony also encouraged people to try out some of their cameras to capture photos of skateboarders performing various tricks in a half-pipe. Canon, too, showed their latest wares. Skateboarders and photographers signed photos, and a multitude of vendors, such as HP, Manfrotto, and Tamrac provided opportunities to test new products. Many vendors were also giving away free gifts such as coupons, pens, and t-shirts.
The event gave vendors a good opportunity to show off their products to the attendees. The attendees were able to get hands-on experience with many products and could talk with the vendors to learn more information about the company or certain products. There were many things to do and see which made the event a worthwhile experience.
