Meeting in Real Time at CHA

Heidi & I were excited to realize that we’d attend CHA. CHA stands for Craft & Hobby Association & is the trade show for all things crafting. You know when your craft stores have their bi-annual ‘The boss went to market sale’? That’s where they’ve gone to. The local scrapbook store owners can view the new products and order inventory.

Heidi & I went with some others from ACDSee. I’ve been to library conventions before so the 3,200 exhibit booths and the 20,000 people wasn’t daunting. Anaheim CA was a nice location when you live in Minnesota! We had great weather & enjoyed the sun during our walks to & from the hotel (ok, well we may have commented on the 90 degree difference from back home a couple of times).

It was quite interesting meeting with editors from various scrapbooking/craft magazines. I demo’ed ACDSee Photo Manager 10 & ACDSee Photo Editor for them. We’re inviting everyone to try out ACDSee Photo Editor 2008 which will be available on February 25th.

The highlight of CHA for me was the people. If you’ve been with our blog for awhile, you know that I like to connect with others. And it was really exciting to meet people in real life. We came back with some new ideas & look forward to sharing them with you!
