Over two days (11 and 12 October 2019), more than 30 top-class speakers will present various presentations from the fields of law, marketing and business on three stages. At this year’s tPIC, Canon will also be contributing various contributions held by Canon Ambassadors on topics such as photojournalism, self-marketing and new business. In addition, Canon uses the professional environment to present itself with the Canon Professional Service (CPS), sensor cleaning and an exclusive consultation for large format printers.
At the same time, Photo Week will feature off-site events such as Photowalks, Masterclasses, Lectures, Portfolio Reviews and the annual EyeEm Awards. Canon is this year sponsor of the award category “Street Photography”, one of the most demanding genres within photography.
