Photoshop World Boston sold out. Free Tech Expo passes still available.

Organizers of the Photoshop World Conference & Expo, scheduled for April 4-6 at the John B. Hynes Convention Center in Boston, are pleased to announce the east coast conference is sold out.

“The fact that Photoshop World is sold out for the first time ever just shows the incredible interest in Photoshop CS3, and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom — Adobe’s new workflow application for pro photographers — which are both playing a starring role in this year’s conference,” said Scott Kelby, conference technical chair and editor-in-chief of Photoshop User magazine. “We couldn’t be more excited — not only at shattering our east coast conference attendance record, but for what this means for our entire industry.” Kelby added.

Although the conference has sold out, Photoshop World will open its Tech Expo to the public for one day only on Thursday, April 5 from 10:00am — 5:00pm at the John B. Hynes Convention Center. The Tech Expo is a perfect opportunity for creative professionals and students to get a look at tomorrow’s technology and mingle with industry experts, including Adobe, Microsoft, Epson, CDW, Canon, Dell, Wacom, Corel, on0ne Software, iStockphoto, and more.

“Free” expo passes are available online prior to April 5 at Photoshop World Tech Expo or by calling 800-738-8513. Tech Expo admission is USD$20 per person at the door.

Additionally, Tech Expo attendees will have access to free Photoshop and digital imaging bonus classes offered at the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) Expo Theatre and the Microsoft Expo Theatre.

The next venue for Photoshop World Conference & Expo will be Las Vegas, Sept. 6-8 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. Registration will open with a special USD$100 advance registration discount.

Adobe Exec to Give Sneak Peek of Upcoming Technology at Photoshop World

Traditionally, Adobe Systems Incorporated has used the opening keynote at the Photoshop World Conference & Expo as a platform for showcasing new and emerging Adobe Photoshop technologies, and this year’s conference is no exception.

John Loiacono, senior vice president of Adobe’s Creative Solutions Business will take the stage on the morning of September 7 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, to kick off the largest Photoshop World Conference to date. During his presentation, Loiacono will give the thousands of keynote attendees, and media on hand, a sneak peek at some of the new Photoshop technology being developed by Adobe. Loiacono has responsibility for the development, delivery and marketing of Adobe’s entire creative software portfolio.

But, will the phrase “Universal Binary” be uttered?
