The Societies 2010 Photographic Convention

The Countdown Has Begun

We are now starting the countdown to the 2010 Convention. Already HQ are preparing for what is to be the biggest Convention, The Societies has held so far. With companies booking left, right and centre, the 2010 Convention is sure to be another success.

The truly international line up of speakers this year is incredible, with over 90 lectures from around the world giving over 200 hours of photographic education.

This year is not to be missed!

Convention update!

swpp.co.uk/convention/

We don’t believe there’s ever been a speaker line-up quite like this before at any photo convention – anywhere.

At the pioneering seven-day long 2010 gathering, our broad church of professional and aspirational photographer visitors will have a truly enormous choice of seminars to be delivered by 175 top-rated experts from across the globe. (We just wanted to make quite sure we had covered every subject under the imaging sun!)

Of course it would be impossible to produce personal profiles for every single speaker given obvious Imagemaker pagination restrictions, so we’ve drawn a dozen of these key names out of the hat to give you an exclusive ‘cross-section’ profile snapshot.

We asked them all similar questions – and here’s the result.

My skill sets are in business development and marketing and I am the founder of Annabel Williams’ Contemporary Photographic Training (CPT). In an act of pure liberation I stepped away from the world of corporate management with Wella GB to launch CPT alongside Annabel. Nine years ago I headed the Fujifilm Envisage programme, designed to prepare everyone within the photographic industry for the birth of digital photography today.
