InfoTrends has released the conference proceedings from the Digital Imaging event, held September 19-20, 2007 in Burlingame, CA. This conference focused on the industry’s continued migration from products to solutions and contemplated what it might take for companies to become a “hub of imaging” for the consumer. In addition, the impact of new and creative forms of imaging output was discussed, and new approaches to online story telling and personal expression were examined. Changes in the make-up of the industry’s customer base were also analyzed, and the event also served as a forum for exploring the ways that new cameras as well as new photo products and services can encourage greater utilization of photos.

During the two day event, attendees heard about new market research from InfoTrends’ analysts. A unique mix of speakers also presented at the conference, some of which were representing new companies with fresh industry perspectives. This highly focused and interactive conference provided valuable insights into the latest industry trends and developments.
