2 The Premier Meeting Summit for the Photo Publishing Industry Photo merchandise has traditionally centered on photo books, greeting cards, calendars and other specialty photo prints for the general consumer. However, there is also a rapidly emerging opportunity for professionals, organizations, and businesses to use photo-rich products to generate new revenue streams from customer experiences, to sell products and services, to raise funds, and for many other purposes. InfoTrends inaugural event on photo publishing is designed to explore how the consumer, corporate, and on demand publishing markets are converging to create new opportunities for the digital photo and production printing industry. The event will focus on market education, business development, and technology & operational issues that must be addressed to grow the industry. In any new market, the influx of vendors can make it difficult for buyers to sort out who to work with. As a purchaser of technology and services, who are the best partners that can help me build out my value proposition? From the seller side, direct access to qualified buyers is requisite. The InfoTrends PhotoPublishing Summit has been designed with those challenges in mind. In addition to educating attendees, we will connect providers of hardware, software and services with the leading corporate content owners, publishers, photofinishers, labs, photo retailers, and digital print providers.
