The Professional Photographers of Ohio will be holding their 55th Annual Convention and Trade Show and hosting the Mid-East States Regional Affiliated Print Competition and Exhibition from February 27 - March 3, 2008 at the Dayton, Ohio Convention Center. Our Trade Show will be held on Saturday, March 1 and Sunday, March 2 and we are looking forward to breaking our attendance records of the past years with more than 2,000 attendees. There will be five full hours of trade show time each day, allowing for all our attendees to visit the trade show - so plan for non-stop buying and networking.

ALL UNASSIGNED FLOOR SPACE NOW ON A FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED BASIS

We are now filling the remaining floor space on a first-come, first-served basis. As of this mailing we have already assigned 101 booths with only 78 booths available. Because we anticipate another sellout, we are asking that you reserve your booth location at your earliest convenience. Take advantage of our 5% discount by paying for your location in full by September 1, 2007. We also will take into consideration the exhibitor that you are located beside or across from to help to keep companies which offer similar products from being located right next to each other.

Our Convention Magazine, "The Ohio Photographer", is another great way to reach your customers. Over 2,000 copies of this magazine will be distributed throughout our five-state region. "The Ohio Photographer" also contains the PPO and PASO membership rosters, so this magazine stays in the studios and becomes a reference book for those that receive it! For those of you that will be exhibiting with us in 2008, this magazine lets your customers know that you will be here.

If you have not been with us in the past, talk to your fellow exhibitors that have. If you are one of our past alumni, we look forward to seeing you again! If you have any questions, please call the me at 419 668-1293. Remember to act quickly when you receive your information to reserve your booths. Last year we sold out of space early.

Thank you in advance for your prompt consideration of our information. Have a great year!
