I have gone to the last four and several before that. For me it is a good value. I already have my hotel for Phoenix. Just waiting for a good airline deal. If it is anything like the last two the hotels sell out by the end of August. It is similar to WPPI except that most of the programs are included in your registration. The trade show is huge. What else would you like to know?

Just wondering if it is worth it. As right now if you are a new member you get in free. So I can't beat that just gotta find child care, hotel and flights are just over $200 from home.

Do you still learn a lot? I know you have been doing this for years but do you still walk away with something new that you didn't know about before hand?

What Don leaves out is to watch out for taxicab rides. ;)


When is Imaging USA this year?

My hotel is a half block from the light rail which goes to the convention center and to the airport. So unless I decide to take some side trip, I won't be riding in any Taxis.

Breezy, I learn (or am reminded of) something at just about every program I attend. I am usually looking for marketing ides to bring me new business and that is what IUSA is all about.

I'll be going to the trade show for sure. Haven't paid attention to the program and how it fits in with my other obligations there at the time.

I had been wondering where the next ImagingUSA would be. I was just moving to San Antonio when it was here. Lucky for me my sister lives in Phoenix and our main terminal is there.

Breezy, Janice and I are going. All of the hotel rooms are sold out at the event so you'll need alternative housing. We're staying with our daughter. One of the tips is to take a shuttle from the airport and rent your car from the hotel - rates are much cheaper. Let us know if you end up going and we'll try to hook up.

Don, we'll be looking for you.

Imaging and WPPI are two events that you should at least experience once in the photography world.
