From Robert Harding: Thank you so much for all your hard work in planning at the Malta Cepic conference. Robert and I felt it was a most fruitful event and that you had organised some most enjoyable evening programmes in superb surroundings. Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the committee. Dinah Harding.

Thoughts of exhausted but satisfied participants:

Why participate in the Cepic Congress? Is it worthwhile? It costs a lot of money. This is what some colleagues from this business ask every once a while. In short: Indeed, it is worthwhile. It is worthwhile to risk these expenditures because there is no other place in the world but the CEPIC Congress where you can get in touch with so many business partners.

No matter if in Prague, Florence or Malta: In the last few years, the number of visitors has been steadily increasing - from under 50 participants in the very beginning, when CEPIC founder Justus Göpel invited to the meeting, up to 800 colleagues in 2007 from all over the world. For this year’s congress, 750 people registered.
At the CEPIC Congress you can meet with an endless number of picture suppliers who present themselves at their tables - 120 this year - or you can meet with one another in extra rented rooms in order to talk calmly about cooperations. In hallways, terraces, cafés, bars and restaurants during lunch and coffee breaks, talks are buzzing and humming. Around here, nobody takes any time off from discussing the industry.
