Are You Going to the 2011 WPPI Convention and Trade Show?

By Trevor Current
Friday, February 11th, 2011

Feb 10, 2011 – It’s almost here! The WPPI Convention and Trade Show is one of the most popular photography events of the year. If you’re a wedding or portrait photographer this is the place to be. There are seminars and workshops available led by some of today’s hottest photographers and you can see the latest products and services offered from the top vendors in the industry. They also have a bunch of social events planned that are a lot of fun and great networking opportunities.

I’m heading out to Las Vegas to cover WPPI as Press for CurrentPhotographer.com. I’ll be reporting the hottest news and posting photos and videos from the event so be sure to check back often.

So are you going to WPPI? If so I’d love to meet you. In addition to the great social events WPPI has planned, I’m putting a small meet up together. Nothing fancy just an opportunity to get together and meet “in real life”.

The meet up will be Monday afternoon at the MGM Grand in the West Wing Bar. If you’re going and would like to meet with a great group of photographers to talk shop and network, please visit our Facebook Event Page for more information. Be sure to click the “I’m Attending” button at the top to be added to the list.

Hope to see you there 🙂
