Heading back to Vegas! WPPI 2009 ... stop by Mpix and say hi! Feb 12th | filed in: News

There are only a few days and one photo session left until I leave for WPPI 2009!

Last year's WPPI convention was a TON of fun.
I did a Platform presentation, and that was a blast.

If you've never been to WPPI, here's what a "Platform talk" looks like:

There are some REALLY good Platform talks this year!
Photographers talk about all kinds of stuff -- photography, business, and some
crazy Platform presenters talk about how to make the best fart noises:


When I was planning for WPPI 2009, I had a bunch of phone calls with
Mpix & the WPPI folks. (Planning for this stuff happens WAY in advance,
so this all happened back in late Spring & early Summer last year.)
Based on the layout of the presentation rooms & classrooms & the expo space for WPPI '09,
we decided that I would work with Mpix and my other sponsors in the tradeshow expo.
My sponsors wanted to reach as big of an audience as they could,
so we decided that focusing on the expo would be the best way to go.
Fine by me! That Platform talk was fun, but it's refreshing not to have to plan one this year!
There will be even BIGGER STUFF happening for WPPI 2010!
It's amazing how far ahead this stuff is planned.

So, this year, I'll be talking to photographers in the Mpix booth at the tradeshow expo.
On Monday and Tuesday, I'll be there at 12:30pm.
On Wednesday, I'll be there at 1pm.
It would be great to see you, so come on by and say hi!

WPPI is going to be a super fun photo party!
I talked to Skip (BBQ Smackdown runner up & president of WPPI) earlier this week,
and he's stoked about how how many photographers from ALL OVER THE WORLD
are making their way to Vegas!
The executive team at the MGM Grand demanded a meeting with the WPPI execs
because they want to know how on Earth WPPI did what NO OTHER convention
has been able to do in the last few years:
The MGM hotel is TOTALLY SOLD OUT for the week of WPPI! That's just unheard of these days!

WPPI is going to be HUGE!
There's always so much to do and see, and so much fun to be had!
When I can carve out some free time, I'll be having some fun at the craps tables,
but not too much fun.
Any other craps-lovers like me out there? Drop me a line, and we can take over a table!
