If you are a photo enthusiast or even a photo professional, you most likely have PDN PhotoPlus International Conference + Expo already on your calendar. This year's conference will be on October 21-24, 2015 and the expo will be from October 22-24, 2015 at the Jacob Javits Center Convention Center. The best part this year is that the 7 train (New York City Subway's IRT Flushing line has been extended 1.6 miles from its prior end station at the heart of Times Square) to the 34th Street - Hudson Yards (http://web.mta.info/capital/no7_alt.html).
Having attended the last few conferences, this event will leave you with something new to ponder. Yes, it is a great place to find out the latest greatest gadgets (lenses, cameras, backdrops, lighting) and technological advances the photographic and imaging industry has made. However, this is also a great time and place to learn things you have always wanted to learn but never had the time. The best part is that you have the opportunity to learn from the best (from wedding, landscape, models to photojournalistic genres). You can even see the work of some up and coming and veteran digital film makers. The website says you can also attend "over 100 educational seminars, Photo Walks and Master Classes"
When I was originally interested in learning all I could about getting started in Wedding photography, I attended PDN Photoplus. I had the chance to learn and personally meet: Rick Sammon (http://ricksammon.com) among my favorite landscape/nature photographers; Bob & Dawn Davis (http://bobanddawndavis.com) - a husband and wife team who are one of the premier Chicago and Destination Wedding photographer based in the United States-and some of the warmest professionals you will ever meet; and even see Vincent LaForet (http://www.laforetvisuals.com) who was one of the pioneers of using the Canon 5D Mark II as an artistic and production tool for cinema. They do share one thing in common. A great talent to visualize and use their equipment as an extension of their imagination. The camera for them is like a painter's brush. The images they create are full of wonder and vibrant in color.
It is also a great place to meet new and old friends and colleagues who share the same interest as you. According to the website you can join "21,000 professional photographers, photography enthusiasts, filmmakers, students and educators from around the world."
