About PBF - BAPLA Picture Buyers' Fair

On 19th and 20th May 2010, BAPLA will be opening the doors to a brand new PBF. After 8 years of the same format, we’ve worked with exhibitors and we’ve worked with image buyers to create a show that reflects our extremely diverse industry in the 21st century.

Our highlights include:

•A brand new home; we’re moving to Exhibition Hall 1 at the iconic Barbican Centre.

•A brand new concept; we’re installing a beautifully designed digital gallery with thousands of amazing images on display.

•A brand new rolling seminar programme; we’ll be delivering content relevant to ALL image buying sectors.

•A brand new first night party; we’ll be creating an exclusive event fit for our industry in 2010.

Our aim is to see as many friends as possible, both the old AND the new that have been created amidst the digital explosion.

What doesn’t change though is that this is still the biggest event of its kind in the world, and that it’s a unique opportunity to find the cream of the picture buying industry all under one roof!
