The opportunity, previously only open to BAPLA Members, is now offered to all image suppliers.

PBF is the largest event of its kind in the world for image buyers and is now in its seventh year. It offers access to over 15,000 images buyers via the BAPLA image buyers’ newsletter. Of the 4,315 people who registered for PBF in 2007, over half (56.18%) attended. This percentage is higher than the event and trade fair industry average (40%).
