What's are some good photo expo or trade shows for photographers?

I've never been to one of these, which isn't much of a surprise considering I'm new to photography.  If you have links to the shows, post them too.  

Thank you!

This comes up every so often, a couple you might enjoy are WPPI and Photo Plus.  WPPI is in Vegas, and Photo Plus is in NYC.  WPPI is more towards professionals and Photo Plus is more consumer.

Although these are not trade shows, searching on Meetup is a great source for finding photography groups and events in your local area too.

It depends on the type of photography you shoot. WPPI is great and you will benefit from the expo but most of the sessions are built around wedding and portrait photography. If you are a T&I photographer you may want to attend a show specific to sports and action photography.

However, having said that, every show allows you to learn new things, see new equipment and make new friends. And if you do go to Vegas, two words of advice....."comfortable shoes"! :-)
