Participate at Picturehouse Chicago 2009

Most attendees were taking their time and actually learning what each agency had to offer. It appeared to be a win-win for everyone. — Anita Duncan, Photo Researchers

Picturehouse returns to the River East Art Center

Our fourth annual event in Chicago is returning to the popular, modern River East Art Center on Thursday, April 16th. New this year will be a seminar on copyright and fair use, sponsored by PACA and presented by Nancy Wolff, counsel to PACA and leading authority in the area of image licensing and the law. This will be held before the main event, and will ensure a high attendance early in the day. Throughout the rest of the day we are offering 40 minute slots to demo a product or service to an audience of picture buyers. Further details are included under marketing opportunities.

If you cannot be there, we have other marketing opportunities available, such as distribution of material in our registration bags, or ad space in our show guide. Whatever your budget Picturehouse offers a unique opportunity to be included.

Don’t miss out on this great marketing opportunity. See who exhibited at the 2008 Chicago and New York events and you'll see why you need to be there! Reserve your space today or ask us how else we can help you find new customers.

Tables – Book yours now!

We offer 6', 12', and shared tables (each with a power outlet). All participants are featured in the show guide and participants will have access to the visitor database after the event. There is an option to promote a second brand in the show guide and on the website for $250 (select this option when you book). Tables are allocated in the order that bookings are made (subject to prompt payment), so to secure the best table you should book now!

If you cannot be there, we can offer you display panels, advertising, distribution of literature, and many other marketing opportunities to give you a ‘virtual presence’.

What is Picturehouse?

Picturehouse events are exclusive networking opportunities, bringing together the sellers of stock imagery with the buyers (your customers and hot prospects) in great city-center venues. Picturehouse is your opportunity to personally meet and directly influence picture buyers.... Where else can you do that? We advertise and promote through a variety of mediums inviting creatives from ad agencies (typically 45% of the invited guests), design firms (15%), book and magazine publishers (30%) and other significant image buying sectors.

Whatever your budget, Picturehouse can provide you with a cost-effective way to help you reach new customers and reinforce relationships with existing clients.

Why do people come to Picturehouse?

To meet new stock image resources from around the world, pick up the latest stock agency marketing materials, catch up on what's new, socialize with peers, and enjoy the friendly hospitality and quality refreshments that is our hallmark. And the overwhelmingly positive feedback we receive from past events in Chicago is a sure indicator that picture buyers really want to come and meet you!

I loved networking with clients, stock houses, fellow photo researchers, etc. SUCH a great event to get everyone in the same business...in the same room! — Jill Kelly, Griangraf Research
