Back from WPPI and my immediate thoughts about the show...

13 years 2 months ago #30675 by Alex
Just got back late last night from Vegas for the last 5 days at the WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) trade show and conference. I'll be making a much more detailed report later, but will say this show was incredible! No joke! They had some very good classes going every day by some very talented photographers including master photographers like Joe McNally!

I'm just going to plant the seed right now: This is a must attend show IMHO, the show is heavily influenced by wedding and portrait photography (of course ;) ), but there is so much more to be gained from WPPI.

If you aren't a member of WPPI yet, than I would suggest you look at becoming one and don't miss next years conference. It really was an experience!

Glad you had a good time, Alex.

I became a fan to WPPI FB page awhile ago. However do not have the money for the membership. So unless my boss wants to give me a raise to join WPPI, I am going to have to sit that one out for now. :) :banana:

Just like mpix.com has yearly meetups in mpix's hometown. I would love to go. According to everyone who attends it's a great weekend event, but no money. :(
