If you visited the show as a professional or member of trade in 2019 and / or 2021, you will have been sent a registration link via email which will ensure that you bypass the approval process. If you have not received an email (make sure you check your junk and promotions folders), please contact us at thephotographyshow@futurenet.com. We ask that those who attended shows prior to 2019, but not 2019 or 2021, reapply for entry.
