Review

PDFThese documents require Adobe Acrobat Reader.

After a three year absence from Chicago, we returned to the beautiful Cultural Center. Despite the marked downsizing of our industry since 2008, we were delighted by the enthusiasm of everyone who came, and the liveliness of the Q&A session, which covered a wide range of important topics, including copyright, licensing, fair use and more. Special thanks must go to Johnér and BIOSPHOTO for traveling over from Europe.
