We’re very excited that The Photography & Video Show 2024 is almost upon us, and will be running from March 16-19 at the NEC in Birmingham, England.
As well as coming to say hello to the N-Photo team on stand H404, there’s loads more on offer this year: there will be some legendary speakers (most talks are free!), incredible show bargains (where you can pick up kit for less than anywhere else from top camera dealers and direct from manufacturers), get hands-on with a whole host of new and exciting products, and watch live demos with everything from beginner-level tips to business-related advice for working professionals!
Even better, Nikon will be there with a huge stand, where you can experience first-hand the very latest Nikon cameras and lenses, and perhaps see a surprise or two… plus there’s the Nikon School stage, where you can learn from and meet Nikon Ambassadors and Creators.
You can’t miss the Nikon stand, which is right at the show entrance at location B600. On show will be: the latest Nikon cameras and lenses to try, including the top-of-the-line Z8 and retro-inspired Zf; you can join ‘live’ photo workshops; and the knowledgeable Nikon staff will be on hand to answer any queries that you may have about your kit.
