If you missed the first day of the Bild Expo 2023, these field notes and snippets show what blew us away.

To sum up Day 1 at Bild Expo 2023, we were simply blown away. The crowds of photography enthusiasts were back, flocking to the Javits Center in tremendous numbers! In our early discussions with vendors and major sponsors, without exception, they were impressed with the first day’s turnout. Again, we’d like to stress that if you’re in the tri-state area and are passionate about photography, make an effort to attend this event! 

The lineup of world-class instructors also drew crowds of standing-room-only, and the expo hall itself remained packed throughout the day. So if you’re planning to attend Day 2, don’t forget to also check out the Speaker Schedule. Take note of the renowned speakers who will be sharing their inspiration, expertise and insights in all four Bild Expo stages!
