Originally planned for May 2008, we’ve decided to resurrect this event due to popular public demand for what promises to be our most heated discussion
to date.

We all know that the path of design progress is littered with casualties. Compositors, typesetters, pre-press—extinct species rendered redundant by the rise of technology. As this relentless advance threatens to add ‘photographer’ to the list, the GroupHub March event will cut to the chase and ask do we need them anymore?

Featuring an illustrious panel of photographers and art directors, we’ll be discussing the rise of stock libraries, the advance of CGI and the magic of that ‘A’ button on your digital SLR. We’ll be looking at how these advances affect the role of the photographer and, more importantly, what impact they are having on the quality and integrity of the output of our designers.
