Join I3A: There’s One Thing Missing from I3A - You!
I3A is a vital forum for promoting growth of the imaging marketplace. Join I3A and your peers as they shape the new technologies that drive this ever-advancing industry. The keys to I3A’s success are the critical mass of its membership, and its extensive portfolio of standards and the processes for developing them. Everyone you need to work with in the industry is here — all the key industry players, as well as a host of innovative emerging technology companies. When it comes to successful market enabling standards, rapid development and prolific adoption are key. I3A’s membership roster nearly assures successful delivery of critical industry standards.
I3A has the best of both worlds when it comes to standards development: I3A’s Image Technology Committees and ISO role provide a formal approach that ensures full worldwide participation and support for standards, while our Initiative process provides for the rapid development of consortia standards when the market calls for a quick solution.
In all of our standardization programs I3A maintains a global perspective. As secretariat for the International Organization for Standardization Technical Committee 42 (ISO/TC42) on Photography and administrator for the USA Technical Advisory Group for this committee, I3A is well qualified in the world of international standardization.
All told, I3A is an organization that can respond quickly to market opportunity. As the largest imaging industry group worldwide, I3A represents the voice of the industry for nearly all leading and emerging imaging companies. The only piece missing is you.
