IDEA has announced exhibitors and a floorplan for The Digital Playground photographers’ event to be held at Sydney’s Luna Park, September 12 – 14.
It’s clear that the equipment exhibition will have most appeal to professional photographers, photographic students and advanced enthusiasts.Canon will also have a second stand representing its newest acquisition, Sun Studios.
This demographic will also be attracted by the three days of workshops and talks by some of Australia’s top professional photographers and Photoshop gurus and the always intriguing public judging of the 2014 Australian Professional Photography Awards.
Show organiser Rob Gatto (Kayell; vice-president, Profesional, IDEA) said early bird sales for the speaker program had been selling well given the show was several months off. (Not to mention our dear Federal politicians keeping the country in a state of permanent high anxiety! KS)

Great list of pro photo suppliers but this what you would expect when Idea these days is so biased in that direction and controlled by a pro photo supplier. Lots of pro-sumers will be there to learn and dilute the business of the pro photographers that is the new business model I guess, good luck to them.
