I just got back from the Out of Chicago Conference, a photography conference devoted to hands-on learning. I've been going since its inception four years ago, and have been a part of the staff for the past two years. Last year we added a conference in New York, and this October, we're heading to Acadia National Park. Conferences and workshops like these are a great way to learn your craft. But they're also a wonderful opportunity to pick up some business and marketing skills. Out of Chicago prides itself on hands-on experiences.

Quick Recap On 2015 Photo Plus Expo
PPE is now owned by Emerald Expositions and after several ownership changes the show seems to have found a stable home. The show was extremely well organized, especially given its size. There were hundreds of exhibitors and an estimated 23,000 photographers attended. There were pre-con photo walks led by some very well-known photographers, plenty of well-attended conference sessions also by famous photographers and of course the exhibits area which featured several demo theaters and lots of opportunity to network and learn. I visited many … [Read more...] about Quick Recap On 2015 Photo Plus Expo

Photo Plus Expo Wrap Up
I wrote this sitting in the airport ready to fly home from eight days in the New York City area. Between the first GoingPro Bootcamp, Photo Plus Expo and some consulting days with my wonderful east coast clients, it was a great trip. PPE was packed all three days, although most vendors told me things were hottest on day one. The physical space allotted to the tradeshow was smaller than most years so it felt crowded all the time. While occasionally inconvenient, the crowds did deliver lots of energy. There were no surprises and no major new … [Read more...] about Photo Plus Expo Wrap Up
Day One At Photo Plus Expo
Wow. That's all I can say about the incredible crowds at PPE. About 40,000 have pre-registered and the show floor was packed. I really enjoyed seeing more old friends today and hanging out in the Adorama booth with the super talented Tamara Lackey. I saw some cool announcements today. Some I can't tell you about because they are under NDA. But I can tell you there are lots of new support systems coming for DSLR video/still shooters - some from companies that have previously not been in that space. Benro announced a refresh of its budget (but … [Read more...] about Day One At Photo Plus Expo
