Our new website has been online since July, and the programme has been out for a few weeks. These ten features make planning your visit to the fair easier. No time? The overview is enough.
1. Filters that react instantly
Click what interests you, and the list adjusts instantly. Day, category, theme, Journey or free of charge: you filter without reloading the page, and the search field finds speakers too. Your selection appears in the address bar, so you can send it on as a link, for example “all workshops on Saturday”.
2. Spotlight on the focus topic
One switch, and you only see programme items on “Nature and us”. From the panel discussion Fotografie für die Natur to the talk Wild Austria. Everything on the focus topic, including photo exhibitions, is on the page Nature and us.
3. Your favourites with a star
One click on the star, and a programme item or exhibitor is saved. Your favourites list sorts everything by day and time, warns you about overlaps and sorts exhibitors by stand number for your tour of the fair. It works without an account. With your customer account, you have your favourites with you on every device.
4. Everything is connected
Programme, speakers and exhibitors are linked to each other. For each programme item you see who is speaking and which exhibitor is behind it. In an exhibitor’s entry you find their programme including the speakers, and on every speaker page all their dates at the fair. One click always takes you further.
5. What’s new at a glance
Anything new in the programme carries the “New in the programme” badge for a week. The programme keeps growing until the fair. From the menu you can also jump straight to talks, seminars, workshops or all free programme items.
6. Journeys as signposts
Not sure where to start? Then choose a Journey. Each one brings together programme items, photo exhibitions and matching exhibitors on one topic: Getting started in photography, Animals & nature, Seeing, light & inspiration, Photographing people, Studio, Photography as a profession, Foreign cultures and Content is King.
7. Three themes
Photo, Adventure and, new this year, Bodypainting: programme, exhibitors and speakers of one theme on one page. At Bodypainting you photograph the painted models of the world’s best bodypainters at shooting stations.
8. Exhibitor directory with search
Around 130 exhibitors and brands, searchable by company, brand and stand number. Anyone exhibiting for the first time in 2026 carries the “New 2026” badge. Live demonstrations at the stand are listed directly in the exhibitor’s entry.
9. Tickets without detours
Choose the number, add to cart, done. Advance prices apply online until 13 November. When you book a workshop, the cart automatically adds the matching seminar at no extra cost, and you redeem codes from exhibitors under Ticketcode.
10. A programme to print
Prefer paper in your hand? Exactly what you have filtered is printed. With images, without images or compact, and saved programme items are marked with a star. You print your favourites as an A4 plan, “My fair plan”.
