Create NYC 2022 (AKA PhotoPlus Expo) cancelled – the next one is in 2023

by Add Comment

Create NYC – the event formerly known as PhotoPlus Expo – has announced that the 2022 show is being postponed until 2023. The chance in name came as the event is shifting from photographers to digital content creators in general, including both filmmakers and social media.

Create NYC didn’t really say much in their announcement about exactly why it’s been postponed, except to say that the show “needs a little extra time” to get put together. But the event that was scheduled for September 29th to October 1st, 2022 is no longer happening. No dates for a 2023 event have yet been announced. The full statement reads:

New York’s PhotoPlus 2021 expo has been cancelled over COVID-19 concerns

by Add Comment

Perhaps not surprisingly, PhotoPlus 2021 has been cancelled. Originally scheduled for September 30th until October 2nd in the usual Javits Convention Centre in New York, it’s been pulled with just three weeks notice. Organisers state that this is “due to developments regarding the ongoing progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and related company-imposed travel restrictions”.

The news was just sent out to press, exhibitors and attendees via email, and they say that for exhibitors who have made deposits for the in-person event, options will be provided in the coming days. For attendees who might have already booked flight and accommodations, though, no mention has been made for those people who might have now lost their money.

But according to PhotoRumors, Olympus has been emailing customers and partners saying that they will not be taking part in the upcoming show.

Are photography trade shows, conferences and expos really worth going to?

by 2 Comments

Big photography shows happen all around the world. Some are much bigger than others, but are even the big ones worth going to? It’s a question I see asked quite often online, especially at the moment. The Photography Show is the biggest one here in the UK and it’s on next month. I’m going, and I’d probably still be going even if I weren’t covering it for DIYP. For me, they are worth it. But I know a lot of people who aren’t going, and don’t really see the point.

Having recently attended WPPI in Las Vegas, Joe Edelman tackles this question head on in his new video. There are some downsides to these shows, as there is with almost anything in life. But there are many positives and benefits, too, which Joe talks about. Sometimes it’s the opportunity to learn. Perhaps it’s to play with a shiny new toy you’ve been thinking about buying. Maybe you just go for the networking.
