The Pro Imaging CONNECT "Worldwide Photo Imaging Market Trends" virtual conference is hosted by Gary Pageau of the Dead Pixels Society. Each session will start at 11:00 EST and will feature extensive online interactivity. The event will be conducted on the ShareMe.chat platform. The event is sponsored by Photo Finale, Canva, EyeQ, Mediaclip, Autopilot Print, and Mailpix.

"The first Pro Imaging CONNECT virtual conference continues has drawn considerable interest from imaging executives from around the world," said Pageau. "The conference will provide valuable insight into the fast-growing photo personalization market."

The event kicks off May 4 with Rise Above Research analysts Ed Lee and David Haueter discussing North American photo and device trends.

Part 1: The U.S. Photo Print Market After COVID-19
In this session, David Haueter of Rise Above Research will give an update on the U.S. photo printing market, providing highlights from their recent consumer survey, including how consumer printing habits changed during COVID-19, as well as discuss areas of opportunity. Top-level forecast data will also be provided.

Part 2: The U.S. Photo Merchandise Market Trends and Opportunties
Haueter will talk about some key areas of opportunity within the photo merchandise market, based on their latest consumer survey, as well as discuss how consumer buying habits were impacted by COVID-19. Top-level forecast data will also be provided.

Part 3: The Role of Aspiring Photographers in the Future of Photography
Aspiring photographers are people who are no longer satisfied with just taking snapshot photos. They have or are developing a passion for photography and want to feed it by taking their skills to the next level. Ed Lee of Rise Above Research will define who they are, their part in the future of photography, and what role photo merchandise plays in their lives.

On May 5, the focus shifts to Western Europe and to video apps.

Part 1: Photo Prints to the Rescue. The Revival of the Western European Photo Market
Jeremy Wills of Futuresource Consulting will present "Photo Prints to the Rescue. The Revival of the Western European Photo Market." He'll describe how the Western European photo sector is a combination of markets and cultures with their own individual dynamics. The last 10 years have seen the rise of photobooks and photo merchandise (cards, wall décor, calendars and photo gifts) whilst photo prints continued a decline trajectory, but there is also now new life in the photo prints category. Wills will explore some of the market drivers and the individual dynamics of the major Western European photo markets.

Part 2: Video creation apps: What is driving the market
Hans Hartman of Suite 48a will present, "Video creation apps: What is driving the market." Do-It-Yourself video creation apps, which are used by non-video professionals, are a powerful driver behind the current surge in sharing and in the viewing of user-generated videos. The study takes a deep dive into the trends at the core of more than 80 successful DIY video creation apps, including smartphone, web, and desktop-based apps.

Part 3: AI in Imaging
Hans Hartman of Suite 48a will host the "AI in Imaging" session, providing an overview of the areas where artificial intelligence is making the most impact in the imaging world. He'll be joined by Brad Malcolm, co-founder and president, EyeQ, creator of Perfectly Clear.

The May 6 program features trends in the Far East
The program features Don Franz, publisher of Photo Imaging News, who will review key market developments in Asia, along with new approaches to wedding photography. Also presenting will be Aaron Day, global partnership lead at Canva, who will showcase how personalization and graphic trends are driving business in Asia.
