The Imaging and Digital Entertainment Association (IDEA) has announced details of its upcoming The Digital Show, which will be staged at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in October 2015.
James Murray, President of IDEA says: "The 2013 Digital Show clearly demonstrated the demand for consumer and advanced amateur-level still and video photography from all walks of life. No longer the protected enclave of trained imaging professionals alone; digital technology has enabled consumers and enthusiasts to own and use image capture equipment of astonishing quality and resolution. Of course, the trained skilled professional will always be in demand and, thanks to our alliance with the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers; the knowledge-sharing will be in abundance."
Billed as the 'largest technology event in the Southern Hemisphere', The Digital Show showcases the latest imaging gear and includes workshops and presentations by leading photographers.
The AIPP will be conducting live judging for the Australian Professional Photographer Awards over the course of the event.
The Digital Show’s presentation theatre has been upgraded to seat 400 in front of two giant screens, following high demand at the 2013 event. Another new feature is the inclusion of four Creative Learning Centres, each running three hands on workshops per day. To ensure learning retention, these classes are limited to twenty delegates each.
Show co-organiser and IDEA Vice-President Robert Gatto comments: "Amidst all of the latest technology from world-leading brands, there has never been so much inspirational work on display to fire the imaginations of photographers and videographers. We expect another record attendance from an expanded audience of gadget and tech lovers, enthusiast and amateur photographers, professional photographers, industry and trade suppliers."
The show will run from 16-18 October 2015. Online registration for the Digital Show will begin in mid 2015 with an early bird rate of $10. Entry at the door will be $20. As the theatre presentations, speakers and workshops are finalised in early 2015, the programme will be available online.
