I guess most of us have lost all hopes of attending any mass events in 2020. But the coronavirus pandemic is already affecting 2021, too. After trade shows scheduled for the current year, CES 2021 now becomes an online-only event as well.
Cine Gear Expo 2020 in Los Angeles has been cancelled due to coronavirus
Cine Gear Expo, which was supposed to take place this fall, was cancelled altogether. The reason is not surprising at all – like all events this year, it was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Panasonic pulls out of IBC 2020 in September
As we all know, all spring events were cancelled this year. Fall looks promising though, and IBC in Amsterdam remains scheduled for September. However, Panasonic has announced that they won’t exhibit at this year’s show, and the reason seems to be the coronavirus fear.
Photokina organisers still see no reason to cancel the event in 2020
The coronavirus situation has the world’s population divided. On the one side, many aren’t worried. That it’s just SARS, MERS, Bird Flu or Ebola all over again and that it’ll blow over. On the other, some people are very worried, particularly organisers of large events such as MWC in Barcelona, CP+ in Tokyo and now GDC in San Francisco.
TPS, NAB and Photokina all recently announced that they are still currently going ahead as planned, but the situation in Europe has changed since then. A couple of days ago, however, at a press conference in Tokyo, Photokina organisers still say that there is no reason to cancel the event.
It’s official: Fujifilm is pulling out of Photokina 2020 as well
Last week, a rumor started circulating that Fujifilm would not be attending Photokina 2020. Now it’s officially confirmed: Fujifilm is bailing out.
Fujifilm will not be at Photokina 2020, reports say
It’s official that Nikon, Leica, and Olympus will not be attending Photokina in May 2020. However, judging from the recent reports, Fujifilm is also bailing out.
This is the gear we’re using in Las Vegas at NAB 2019
Whenever DIYP heads out to cover an event, we get a lot of people asking what gear we’re using to do it. Our kit evolves over time, though and changes from show to show. So, for some events, we shoot new show gear update videos. We’ve decided to do make one such update in Las Vegas at NAB 2019 this year, and here it is.
From next year, the world’s largest photography show, Photokina, becomes an annual event
Photokina is the highlight of many photographers calendars. It’s the largest photography trade event in the world. It’s so big, that it only happens once every two years, in Cologne, Germany. But that is all set to change. Photokina is now becoming an annual event. DIYP went to the last Photokina in September 2016. The next one is still scheduled September 2018. But after that, we won’t have to wait two years.
Not only is it turning into an annual event, but as of 2019, it’s also shifting to much earlier in the year. Traditionally, Photokina has been held in September, but after September 2018, we only have to wait a mere 8 months for the next Photokina in May 2019. And it’ll happen annually in May each year from that point forward.
Bowens Pulls Out Of The Biggest Show In The UK. Could Indicate Trouble For The Lighting Company
Living next to Europe means I get to visit the UK Photography show* every march. This is the biggest photoshow in the UK and you can think about it as a Photokina prequel.
Bowens were supposed to have a MASSIVE booth on that show. (A huge booth, a show stage for them and a lounge – a few thousands of square feet). A verified source just informed DIYP that Bowens is pulling out out of the show. More details, and some analysis ahead.
120,000 Photos Were Shot Over 16 Days For This Time-Lapse of Canon’s 2015 Expo
Once every five years, Canon puts on its Canon Expo. It’s an all-encompassing trade show where Canon shows off the latest and greatest tech across all of its domains – photography, printing, medical equipment, commercial surveillance, and so on.
This year, the event was held at the Javits Convention Center in New York City. Over 100,000 square feet of the convention center was converted into a hustling and bustling trade show floor. It took 11 days, hundreds of workers, dozens of cranes, tonnes of scaffolding, a hell of a lot of coordination and probably more swear words than you can imagine.
To capture the chaos, Dentsu America, the agency in charge of Canon’s operations hired Blue Barn Pictures to create a time-lapse video. From the initial construction of the walls to the final day of the show, the time-lapse gives us a birds-eye view of the incredible amount of work it takes to set up one of the biggest company-specific trade shows out there.[Read More…]
