Delphi - Master Photographers Association

The Master Photographers Association, in conjuction with Kodak, has launced the Delphi initiative - a landmark training programme drawing on the diverse and specific skills of some of the most successful and experienced practitioners in the business.

The Delphi programme comprises a series of seminars which between them build into a programme of total business development with unique relevance and value for the self-employed photographer.

The countdown to D-Day (Delphi day) started in March...

March 11th, at the Europa Hotel, Newcastle was the date and venue for the first seminar in the programme.

Delphi, launched by the MPA in conjunction with Kodak Professional and Printing Imaging, is a nationwide (and Republic of Ireland) business-building workshop aimed at helping professional photographers to make more money from their businesses.

During 1996 the tour will take in a minimum of 13 venues before completing its first year's run in Walsall in November.

Natwest Bank has pledged support for the Delphi programme - billed as ' the most exciting training project for years'.

And now KJP has announced a special deal for photographers attending Delphi workshops.

Said Mike Devorchik, KJP Marketing Manager, Group Distribution, "This is a great initiative from the MPA and Kodak. We believe this is going to open a lot of doors - and a lot of eyes in the industry. It's a training programme with teeth." He added, "We are offering a special 10% discount on Kodak sensitised materials and other KJP 'own-line' products to all Delphi delegates in 1996".

The one-day seminars will cost £45 for MPA members and members of the Kodak Promise of Excellence programme - and £65 for other delegates.
