The Imaging Experience Theatre is a unique place at Photokina 2008 and on the internet. It’s a physical and virtual space where some of the best actors of the imaging world will bring and tell their amazing experiences.
We managed to gather in a 6-day multi channel event some of the most awarded photographers and other imaging artists in the world to create something that must be lived and experienced totally.
From the Himalaya to the Indian Ocean, from advertising to photojournalism, from pictures to multimedia, the theatre presents a wide range of seminars and workshops that will provide a mix of emotion, information and education unique in its genre.

The program will feature three events everyday, with a meet and greet moment with the artist just before each event. So in addition to the institutional moment of the event, the theatre offers you also the great chance to have a few words with the artists.
One more reason to come and plunge into the theatre experience.

In 1983, two friends, members of an elite military unit, began exchanging ideas about how backpacks and military equipment cases could be made more modular and ergonomic. Based on their own field experience, they went on to design a line of combat-ready gear. They named their company KATA. In 2005 KATA joined the Vitec Group and under the Photographic Division the company has been expanding and flourishing.
For many years KATA has been creating high-end products for professionals around the world. KATA Design HQ and part of the manufacturing facilities are based in Jerusalem, Israel.
