If you are in the stock imagery business and want to stay current with
worldwide industry trends the annual CEPIC Congress is a must event to
attend. Held every year in early June - this year in Dublin, Ireland at
the brand new Aviva Stadium - it was an opportunity to meet and greet
industry leaders and exchange ideas. Traditionally CEPIC has been an organization focused on the needs of
those who license rights to traditional customers, mostly larger
commercial organizations. This year one day was devoted to a New Media
Conference (microstock). This event was very well attended by
traditional sellers, many still wary of microstock and not ready to
embrace it fully, but also accepting that the $400 million a year
business is a major force in the industry and here to stay.
