PICTAday, Germany's most important trade fair for image marketing, will take place in Berlin on 18 April 2024. At our one-day trade fair, German and international photo agencies as well as tech and service companies will meet exciting photo buyers from publishing houses, advertising, TV, corporate communications and public institutions. The booming creative scene, innovative start-ups and an increasing number of media companies from the press, broadcasting and film sectors are making the German capital a hotspot for professional image buyers.
Our preparations are in full swing and the exclusive pre-registration period for BVPA members has now expired. We would now like to invite you to secure your table at the ECC (Estrel Congress Centre). Here you will find the registration form (PDF) incl. terms and conditions (PDF), a room plan (PDF) incl. an overview of the tables already booked and the data protection information (PDF).
The room concept in the PICTAday exhibition hall offers you high tables including bar stools, but also larger standing bridges including bar stools in an exposed and specially designed premium area.
Following the successful introduction of our PICTAtalks conference format this year (see impressions), we are motivated by the positive feedback from our visitor survey. We are designing a new, interesting lecture programme for you and your customers. This will increase the anticipation of this most important event of the year for the industry. What is new is that we are opening up the PICTAtalks conference area to another target group - namely photographers - for whom participation will be subject to a fee. Application and registration will take place separately from PICTAday via a dedicated website.

Exciting presentations on the topics of AI, copyright, fact checking, tech innovations and visual trends are planned for the PICTAtalks. As an exhibitor, you can offer a presentation on such relevant topics for customers of the one-day trade fair. If you are interested in a presentation slot or sponsoring, please contact the BVPA office.
We will retain the tried and tested concept for inviting PICTAday guests:
- Only professional picture buyers will be admitted as visitors to the trade fair area, i.e. picture editors, art buyers and corporate customers, among others. Registration will be possible via a newly designed website.
- Visitors and exhibitors will be provided with free food and drinks in the exhibition area.
On 18 April 2024 in Berlin, we expect around 600 visitors from the entire image media industry. PICTAday gives you the unique and efficient opportunity to refresh existing contacts and acquire new customers.
We look forward to receiving your registration - please send it to info@bvpa.org by 15 February 2024 at the latest. We will be happy to send you further information on sponsorship opportunities. If you have any questions, you can of course also reach us by telephone on +49 30 - 886 753 19.
