The Kifo Summit 2025 took place on March 6th and 7th, 2025, at the “Das Weitblick Allgäu” hotel in Marktoberdorf. This exclusive industry event, organized by allcop in collaboration with fotograf.de, provided professional photographers, service providers, and companies in the kindergarten and school photography sector with a unique platform for knowledge exchange, innovation, and networking.
A total of 72 attendees participated, coming from Germany (58), Switzerland (8), and Austria (6). The group included both returning and new participants who engaged in intensive exchanges and made valuable connections. The diversity of attendees, in terms of age and professional backgrounds, was especially noteworthy, sparking interesting perspectives and discussions.
The event featured renowned speakers such as Manfred Kohl, Stefan Kühleis, Lars May, Oliver Perialis, Jan-Timo Schaube, and Martin Wagner. They shared their expertise and experiences, providing valuable insights for the future of kindergarten and school photography. It was particularly impressive to see how actively everyone participated, contributing questions that made the presentations and subsequent Q&A sessions highly interactive.
Beyond the professional exchanges, the event took place in an inspiring setting. For two days, we were accompanied by sunny and warm spring temperatures. The “Das Weitblick Allgäu” hotel impressed with its stunning panoramic views of the Allgäu Alps, creating ideal conditions for productive discussions and sustainable networking—complemented by a spa area for relaxation and unwinding.
The Kifo Summit 2025 served as an excellent platform to present the latest trends and developments in kindergarten and school photography while fostering exchanges with industry peers. Events like these are crucial for driving the future of the industry forward.” – Andreas Schätzle, CCO of allcop
