Admission is $10 unless you find an attendee who's willing to give you their free pass!
I'm tempted to attend on Sunday just to see the different gear the different vendors may have. |
Come and say "Hi".
Two of my images are featured on that website - the BC Place one, and the 9 O'clock Gun one!

It's the PPOC (Professional Photographers Of Canada) annual convention - it's being held in Vancouver this year. The trade show is open to the general public, but the workshops and speakers are limited to PPOC members only. Yes, there will be lots of new gear from Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Hasselblad & Phase one available to fondle/try, along with many other lighting & accessory makers like Manfrotto, Rogue, Profoto, Dynalite, Marshall Monitors, NEC Monitors, etc... The trade show is mostly oriented towards pro gear, not consumer level gear, as it is a trade show for industry people. Rumours of the new Nikon 800mm f5.6 making an appearance are making the rounds...
