The Imaging and Digital Entertainment Association’s (IDEA) Digital Show, will be staged at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre from October 16-18, 2015.
Having changed to a biennial cycle after the previous show in September 2013, next year’s event remains in Melbourne before moving to Sydney for 2017, when the new Darling Harbour Exhibition Centre will be completed.
James Murray, President of IDEA says: “Following on from the success of The Digital Show 2013, where we attracted over 23,000 individual visitors, we have set the dates for 2015 at an ideal time for the pre-Christmas buying season. Professional, ‘prosumer’ and advanced amateur photographers will again be targeted as the world of image recording, sharing and reproduction continues to expand across multiple platforms.”
The Australian Institute of Professional Photography APPA awards, sponsored by Canon, will remain annual and will coincide with The Digital Show 2015.
While exhibitors’ plans for the Melbourne 2015 event can commence, now the dates have been set; Sydney’s The Digital Playground, to be held at Luna Park from 12-14 September 2014, is sold out. IDEA’s Vice President, Professional Robert Gatto comments:
“We are delighted at the level of support for The Digital Playground, a smaller more focused event for Sydney that also includes the AIPP’s APPA awards. The exhibit area is now totally allocated and we will be publishing the speaker program and topics for eighteen information-packed sessions on the website during May. Both events deliver a good balance for the two largest cities and will also attract interstate visitors keen to find out all the latest trends and technologies used in professional-level image creation. The APPA awards are open to both members and non-members of the AIPP, with entry details available on the AIPP’s website.”
