back to full dema 2008 show coverage

The Wetpixel team leaves tomorrow for DEMA 2008 Las Vegas! As we have done every year since 2000, we will be on the floor live, posting photos and commentary of everything related to underwater photography and videography at the show. If you have any requests, please leave a comment here on the website and we will try to accommodate your request. We’ll also be representing Wetpixel and Wetpixel Quarterly magazine at our booth in the Imaging Resource Center (booth #3049, shared with Magic Filters and UwP Magazine), so please come visit!
Use this entry as an index to all of our DEMA coverage this year; check back periodically for updates!

Note that it will likely take the full 4 days of the show to cover all of the booths in our list. We will first cover our sponsors’ booths and will then fan out on the show floor in pseudo-random order, so if it takes us awhile to get to the booth whose products you are looking for, please be patient. For additional coverage, check out some of our friends, who will also be blogging live: DivePhotoGuide, X-Ray Magazine, and DeeperBlue. You can also check #DEMA @ Twitter, where some of us will be microblogging.

Finally, be sure to come to our annual cocktail night! This year, we partnered with DivePhotoGuide and have rented a suite at the Las Vegas Hilton. You’ll need an invitation to attend; print it out now, or come find us at the Wetpixel or DivePhotoGuide booth to get one. See you soon!
