Expressions of support in principle for the proposed conference have been voiced by trade organization, the PMA, and by supplier www.photomart.co.uk. The organizer, Neil Taylor of minilabhelp.com, says: "I would say that networking with others is going to prove vital to the survival of our independent stores. We all learn so much when talking to others, and always come away with new energy."
