MS Hamburg - full speed ahead
For the first time, the sector fairs Marketing Services and PICTA will be staged under one roof. The intention is to attract more visitors from agencies and publishers to the north.
In line with the schedule, Marketing Services once again opens its doors this year from May 16 to 18 in Hamburg. But for the very first time, the picture agency fair PICTA will be held simultaneously at the venue. The organisers, Messe Frankfurt Exhibitions and the German Federal Association of Press Picture Agencies and Photographic Archives (BVPA), are hoping for valuable synergy effects and growth impetus from this alliance. About 70 exhibitors are already listed for PICTA, including big-name picture agencies. To widen the exhibitor clientele, a separate PICTA forum will also be held in Hamburg with presentations and practical tips on image processing software. Display, the 9th specialist tradeshow for POS marketing will also be held at the same time. "First Move Award" 2006, a prize for young talent, will be awarded there for the fourth time. In future, Marketing Services will make greater use of a parallel presentation program. So, the Mediaforum will have a new and more varied structure and fuller and wider-ranging content this year. The schedule includes about 30 talks by distinguished speakers and interesting panel discussions on current issues in the sector as well as informative and practical workshops. The trade fair advisory council will ensure the necessary orientation towards the sector with its advice and support. Antje Peters-Reimann
