    10am - 6pm
    Crowne Plaza Hotel
    Santry (Near Dublin Airport)

    Photo Fest is Ireland's biggest Photographic Equipment (& Supplies) event with dozens of Importers, Distributors and Retailers showing the latest products available (a few sneak previews also). In addition there are loads of FREE Seminars on throughout the day.
    Tips:
    Allow yourself at least half a day (Let your partner / kids go to IKEA!)
    If you have a business card, bring a wad of them - Exhibitors like to know who they have been speaking to.
    Products will be on sale at the show at worthwhile discounts so bring some plastic or cash.
    Enjoy!

    And make sure to bring cash - €10 entry fee????? :eek:

    Not sure that it's actually value at all.

    I said this on another thread but expecting people to pay €10 to get into a sales event where they are expected to spend more money is ridiculous. It was ridiculous in the celtic tiger years and it's even more so now.
    And don't tell me the seminars are worth that - the only reason the seminars are there is to encourage people to turn up otherwise there would be nobody there.

    And no, I don't want the loan of €10. It's the principle of the matter. I wouldn't go if it was €0.50 to get in.

    Ah, but the seminars are free. :eek:

    I wonder if you can attend the seminars (for free) without having to go in to the trade show (and pay €10).

    While the seminars might be free, I totally agree with you that there shouldn't be a charge in to this.

    Think I'll head for Smithfield market on Sunday - it's free in and possibly more entertaining :)

    Or, Sunday, in Morton Stadium, a select Liverpool XI will play against Darndale FC.

    Should be a fun game, and a good chance to see some of the Liverpool legends - John Aldridge, Jason McAteer, Alan Kennedy, Phil Neal, John Wark, Keith Gillespie, and others. :D

    Kickoff is 2pm.

    Yeah, the price has put me off this event in the past too, purely on priciple.
    There are other exhibitions for free, which also have seminars.
    I have seen many people come out of a Guy Gowran seminar & make a beeline for his stand, to purchase his DVDs.

    I'm looking for something to do this weekend, but may give this a miss.

    It would be helpful for many here and in the interest of transparency if the OP declared exactly what their interest and involvement is with this event.

    Money all goes to charity - Autism Ireland. A very worthy cause.

    Anyone go to Photo Fest today? Was it any good?

    I went to the charity match in Morton Stadium. Glad I did. Got some nice exclusive picts that will be in some of tomorrow's papers now. A nice shot of Stephen Cluxton throwing a left hook and knocking Jason McAteer over. :D

    So .... was Photo Fest of any use at all?

    Oh Cluxton, such a role model...

    I wanted to go, but I'd completely forgotten I had to be in Limerick for a game. Worth it though, the forecast had me prepped for rain but it was fantastic weather.
    I wanted to go for a chat with the folks at CameraInsurance.ie, but I guess that can easily be done over the phone.
