WPPI 2011 Summary - Las Vegas, NV
Another year, and another WPPI has come and gone. Each year when reflecting back, the saying "this year was so much better than last years" is mentioned by the majority. Well this year certainly did not disappoint and it was certainly "so much better than last year!"
The main hall was filled to the limit with power hitting manufacturers and companies such as Canon, Nikon, Sony, Epson, Kodak, Fuji, B&H Photo Video, Adorama, Pictage, Think Tank Photo, and Unique Photo to name the least. Attendance was reported to be significantly higher than 2010 - some 3-5k more attendees this year. The highlight of the show had to be the $10,000 giveaway from Pictage. One lucky winner had their business card drawn from the bag containing over 2,000 entries to win $10,000 CASH!!!
With so many attendees, it can be very overwhelming when looking at everything there is for the photography industry, but it is also a great time to connect with new friends, and certainly catch up with many other friends that you rarely get to see because of geographic locations.
Here are a few pictures from the WPPI Trade Show floor.
