About Picturehouse

Picturehouse is all about connecting stock media suppliers with buyers.

We run annual trade events in New York and Chicago, attended by hundreds of professional stock media buyers. Our events give stock media agencies a unique opportunity to gain new business and build loyalty from existing clients. Entry is free and restricted to professional stock media buyers and researchers. As an added incentive for buyers to come along we choose inspiring venues and provide free quality food and beverages throughout the day.

We also manage an international online directory of stock media suppliers. To add an entry is free, and we offer low cost subscription options to enhance the value of your listing.

About our next event

Our next event is in New York on October 14th, at which we expect to welcome in the region of 1,000 picture buyers to meet companies from around the world: photo, footage and illustration libraries, assignment photographers, font foundries, and suppliers of web widgets and research services, all under one roof. Take this opportunity to meet face to face with senior art directors, editors, publishers, graphic designers and freelance researchers, from all market sectors, from editorial and publishing to advertising and design. Details and costs of all our exhibit packages are available here. We also offer a wide range of marketing opportunities at our events, from advertising in the show guide or on-screen at the event, to distributing literature.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Deborah Free (details at bottom of page) or use the online enquiry form.

This is typical of the feedback we receive from exhibitors at our events:

We have now been attending the New York Picturehouse event for 5 years and every year Deborah manages to get new and interesting image buyers through the doors. This year was the best event yet, the venue was packed throughout the day and we made many new contacts we will follow up! — Ute Krebs, akg-images
Picturehouse New York has always delivered a great return on investment for us. This year’s record client turnout made this the best one so far. Thanks Deborah! — Geoff Cannon, Masterfile Corporation
The best part for me was just being able to meet other providers and share experiences. The environment was open and friendly, not a competitive game of one-upmanship. It was also nice to meet face to face with customers we've met by phone or internet. We received a lot of encouragement and constructive feedback from customers and other exhibitors. — Kevin Kelly, Boeing Images

... and from picture buyers:

It is just so unbelievably helpful to meet so many different representatives of so many stock houses and photo providers in one place. Every year, I come with a handful of specific needs and I always leave having found answers to those questions – and answers to questions that I didn't even know I had yet. — Sarah Parvis, Downtown Bookworks
Picturehouse is the single most important event I attend. Meeting representatives of companies we do business with adds a valuable 'connection' asset and I never fail to find 'new to me' vendors with image libraries of specific interest to our publishing concern. — Doug Brooks, Publications International, Ltd.
It was great getting to see and spend some time with the people we generally only talk with on the phone. It was very well-attended and well-organized and made me feel like I was part of a very vibrant industry (which is very reassuring these days.) —Amy Wrynn, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
