PRO-TEK is once again sponsoring the annual conference of the Association of Moving Image Archivists or AMIA. The 2017 event will be in New Orleans at the InterContinental Hotel on St. Charles.
We invite you to:
- Capture and preserve your AMIA 2017 experience in our photo booth
- Charge your cell phone at one of the power stations we will be sponsoring throughout the show floor—no more hunting for outlets along the perimeter!
Join us for professional networking and personal socializing!
The conference offers many opportunities to network and socialize. From opening night and closing night receptions to continental breakfast to cocktails in the Vendor Café, informal activities are available every day.
