Heya swifty - I've never been to PMA before but it sounds like a good place to go - Marianne and I have our Iceland book on display there ;)

I went.
The companies that were very conspicuous by their absence from the show were Sony and Adobe.

And don't forget Apple. Last year in Melbourne they had a big stand and education area. Last year the iPad and aperture 3 were new and this year there isn't a whole lot so maybe that is the reason.

I went Saturday and enjoyed it and thought it was worthwhile (3.5 hr trip and a nighs accomodation) however there was alot of "exhibition space" and alot said number of exhibitors were down.

I spent to much but the opportunity to see some "stuff" being displayed which i had read about was great.

Joined AIPP and artsfreedom, and got my "i'm a photogrpaher not a criminal t-shirt"

I went Sunday. It was a good show, but was a bit let down in how simple the seminars were. Was also hoping to catch Adobe there, but to no avail. Nik software was there though I think their display computer was a bit on the slow side - constantly apologizing about how long effects took to render. With all that said, it was my first show and I'd go again in a heart beat!

I went friday, saw some of the huddle seminars, a few big names talking. Gear doesnt interest me that much, and hearing pople talk, you can see its totally not about the gear at all. Of course you need good reliable stuff, but its your eye and contact with your subject that matters. You cant buy that.
