NEWTONVILLE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2000 via NewsEdge Corporation -
April 9-11, 2000, Meeting Features Keynote Speakers Dan Carp of Kodak,
Gary Christophersen of PhotoWorks (Seattle FilmWorks),
along with Top Financial Analysts
Top analysts from market research, publishing, and financial firms will join photography industry CEOs Daniel Carp of Eastman Kodak Company and Gary Christophersen of PhotoWorks, Inc. (formerly Seattle FilmWorks), in a detailed examination of the future of the digital photography industry at the Advancing Digital Photography Forum 2000, April 9 - 11, 2000, in Boston.
"While momentum in the market is certainly surging--with digital camera unit shipments forecast to rise from less than a million worldwide in 1996 to over 7.7 million in 2000, and revenues approaching $4 billion--the question is: what will sustain that momentum?" asked Steve Hoffenberg, Director of Lyra's Digital Photography Advisory Service, and coordinator of the conference agenda. "We called together the best-informed people in the industry to probe that question and to help develop some answers at the Forum," he explained.
Previous Advancing Digital Photography Forum conferences have brought together, in an open and constructive environment, hundreds of top executives from virtually every corner of the digital photo industry. "This year's event, which focuses on the impact of the Internet on this rapidly changing market, is bound to stir the industry to new ways of thinking about the future of photography," said Hoffenberg.
