WPPI Conference & Expo for Wedding Photography

Registration for the WPPI Conference & Expo begins in less than a week. This show is the largest event of its kind and features a week long trade show, educational seminars and unlimited networking opportunities. It is held in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Mandalay Bay. Everything the industry has to offer is showcased, including the opportunity to test gear (cameras, lenses and lighting) and even features shooting bays with live models.

Attendees will have the option to sign up for master shooting classes with top professionals in the field, as well as numerous business and marketing seminars. This year they have added levels for all classes too, so you can choose the most appropriate session for your skill level. Even Newborn Photography has been added for the first time in 2018.

General admission for the event is quite reasonable and the class prices are competitive. However, let me give you a tip. The majority of these events are very student friendly and often offer opportunities to volunteer. Don’t be afraid to ask! In exchange for a few hours of your time, organizations will often waive fees.
