Another Fantastic Convention

Wow! What a week it was...
This years Societies' Annual Convention held in London has been described by many as the most positive, uplifting and educational experience, with a mix of photographers and artists from all across the globe, all gathered under one roof to enjoy the event.

It had lively conversations and social experiences, linked together by the common International language of photography.

We here at The Societies wish to say a massive thank you to everybody who attended, all the helpers, staff, speakers and exhibitors. Next year can't come soon enough!

We're listening. Tell us what you think...

Are you happy with the Societies' Convention? Would you recommend it to your friends? Have you any suggestions for improvements?

Take a few moments to complete The Societies' 2015 Convention - Post Show Survey and all completed surveys received by 31 January 2015 will be included in a draw to win a BlackRapid Metro camera strap worth £45.
