Anaheim Show Downer

[Caliber Picture Framing]

Wow, I'm sorry everyone but I have a major grumble with the Anaheim show which was a major disappointment when I realized there were so few vendors related to our industry. I that maybe the vendor list on the PMA website was just incomplete or something but it was actually very accurate. I feel sorry for anyone new to the industry who came to the show hoping to meet and greet with some potential vendors, that also left disappointed.
I was surprised to see so many small vendors related to the photography industry, which definitely projected a feeling of inspiration and hope even during the economic downturn.

WCAF is the place for picture framing related vendors. In these times it was tough enough for those guys to spring for one show, much less two back-to-backs.

I couldn't make WCAF thinking I could catch the same stuff at PMA, then decided against PMA when I checked the vendor list just a few days before.

Yes this show is the trditional photo industry show. Those who are newer to framing may not know it since it is the PPFA event. Hope you found some things to make it worth while.
