These media passes are restricted to members of the photographic trade media, with some exceptions made for live broadcast news crews and other local media. Please review our complete Rules & Considerations. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Photographic Trade Media
PPA is honored by our strong collaborative relationships with media focused on the photo and imaging industry. We are committed to doing our part to keep you in-the-know about the latest industry trends, products and services … and the ever-growing number of amazing and talented people in this field. To that end, we are pleased to invite you to Imaging USA, where encounters and insights can help set the tone and direction of your editorial in the months to come.

With your media pass, you’ll have free access to:

  • Walk the Imaging EXPO trade show floor, where you can interview thousands of photographers and hundreds of specialists knowledgeable about new products and services.
  • Set up meetings before and after the trade show for exclusives.
  • Attend the educational programs to get a taste for what’s foremost in photographers’ minds.
  • Network at the parties.

New Orleans / Louisiana Local Media

  • Imaging USA is a boost to your local economy, bringing thousands of professionals and business people to your region.
  • With our nation still undergoing economic challenges, people are exploring new careers. Many are choosing to follow their dreams and capitalize on their passion for photography. PPA helps these people realize their potential through programs like those at Imaging USA.
  • PPA, one of the hosts of Imaging USA, appeals to students and young people interested in making a career of photography, and Imaging USA is one place they can get expert guidance and advice about their art and talent.
