I'm going to try to make it this weekend.

I just saw an ad for it. Have you ever been? Is it worthwhile?

 

[DigiJay]

I'm getting hooked up with free tickets, so I'm thinking it will be worthwhile haha.. plus I live ten minutes away.. I checked out the website and all the big and small distributors will be there... looks like it will be good.

 

[Antarctican]

Lucky you on both counts: saving the $15 entry fee, and being close to the Int'l Centre.

 

[DigiJay]

Indeed..
If I can get extra tickets, I'd be willing to give them to someone on this forum that's planning on going.

Hey Antartican

I won't be going to the show so send me a PM and I will set you up with some free tickets.

I've been a couple times, it's a pretty good show. Lot's and lot's of product, you can play with all the SUPER expensive lens and camera bodies, and there's generally a lot of new gear to check out.

They have 1 hour teaching seminars running all day, lots to choose from because they have 5 going at once (3 rooms, 2 stages in the show floor). They sometimes have some great info. Some of them are basically advertising for a product, but I picked up some great tips.

Just don't be afraid to walk out and check out another one if it's not what you thought it would be (that happened a few times... make sure you sit by the door!).

A little tip for those in the TO area, if you sign up for Henrys e-mail newsletter, they send a free admission ticket each show (they're the sponsors).

Have fun!

I'm planning to go this Saturday... Are they still giving out free tickets at Henry's locations?

I don't think they give them away at the store, it's a special deal for anyone who signs up to their e-mail list. It may be to late for this show, but it would work for the next one.

That's the link to the newsletter, you sign up, and then before the show they email you a complimentary ticket. I'd offer you mine, but I deleted it (wasn't planning on going this round). Sorry about that!

Well this may work I can get there and still have time to get to a Fashion show I have a photographers pass for the weekend. Looking to buy 2 prime lenses and pen tablet and think I will head there first thing tomorrow and see if I can get any deals on what I am looking to purchase. The Photographic and Digital Imaging Show opens at 11 am so if I get there at opening gives me 3-31/2 hours and leaves me 30 minutes to get to the Fahion show. Hmmmmm. I wonder if i can pull it all off? Worth a shot for the $15 dollar fee and the fee covers the 3 days and depends on the designer lineup may be able to get there a second time, just hate having to rush. Figures this all has to happen on the same weekend.

To make it even a better deal just print the free ticket in the link.

I'm going for sure. It will be my first time, but a friend tells me it's well worth going. Lots of great seminars, and all the big camera makers will be there. He also said that you can photocopy those tickets as many times as you want, so I think getting in will be pretty easy if you print the link a few posts previous.
