Visitors are encouraged to attend and give feedback on some of these re- markable prototypes or even buy from the hundreds of exhib- itors on site who are displaying the latest and next-generation photo equipment and technology. Whether you are a sophisti - cated photographer or a beginner looking to expand on your hobby, this mega event will have something for everyone.
