Created by the merger of
PIMA and the DIG, I3A — the International Imaging
Industry Association — represents a strong, more
far-reaching voice for the imaging industry. After all,
as film-to-digital and digital-to-film technologies
have evolved, the dividing lines between the associations
and the segments of the industries they represent have
blurred. The Internet, as we all know, has dramatically
increased the demand for, and the value of, images.
And new applications for photographic and imaging technologies
are emerging at an ever-increasing rate. To this dynamic
environment, the I3A brings together two proven forces,
delivering the resources and will to continue to advance
the industry in ways that represent the best interests
of our members and the customers they serve.
