“Photography becomes all the more enjoyable when you can share the pictures with others.”

photokina's latest umbrella brand of photokina "meet the communities at photokina" for the first time links real and virtual communities in an area larger than 1,500 m² in the middle of Hall 5.1.

Social networks, photo festivals, associations and publishing houses offer the photokina visitor a unique platform with various highlights on and next to the large stage.

Networking and communication with modern end devices, and the latest generation cameras are the focus of this modern and networked space.

Further highlights are the Twitter Wall, the Speakers Corner 2.0 and the exciting and comprehensive stage programme of all the participants on the Manfrotto Center Stage.

The "meet the communities" area is divided into the sections Community, Festivals, Publishers and Associations as well as into various partner spaces over the entire "meet the communities" area.
