The Photography Show 2020

is now going to be virtual and

completely free. Secure your

digital seat and enjoy the UK’s largest

imaging event from the comfort of home!

With TPS moving from the halls of

Birmingham’s NEC to a digital reality, the

futuristic virtual festival will be the first of

its kind in the UK and will take place on

20-21 September 2020.

Visitors will be able to navigate over

120 stands from exhibitors including

Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Sony,

Fujifilm and Olympus, where they can

chat to industry experts, watch kit

demonstrations and take advantage of

exclusive show discounts.

The show’s usual program of pro

speakers will take to the virtual sphere

via both pre-recorded sessions and live-

streamed Q&As. Event-goers will even be

able to enjoy a 3D gallery and exhibition

space, and take part in networking

elements via Zoom.

Photography Show website at:
