The current global economic situation also influences the participants of the 2010 PMA International Convention and Trade Show. Renowned companies are undergoing major reorganizations, affecting mainly at local level, where major changes are made. When it comes to digital imaging, the world is roughly divided into three parts, America, Europe and Asia. It seems that the manufacturers have decided among themselves that the PMA is specifically focused on the U.S.A. market, including the associated market strategies, while Europe is served by IFA and Photokina. In Asia, it is the Photo Imaging Expo in Tokyo that seems to focus on Japan and surrounding countries. The PMA show is expected to offer a different twist; keep tracking us for the latest show news.
