Skip's Summer School

WPPI is one of the coolest things in our entire industry. The only bummer is we have to wait a year for it to happen.

But, not anymore.

“Skip’s Summer School ‘09” is filling the gap!

Where: MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV
When: Sunday, August 16th – Wednesday, August 19th
What: 13 workshops in a classroom style setting
Cost: $279 (which also gets you a free full registration to WPPI 2010 – March 4-11, 2010)
Topics: Style, tools & techniques for mixing photography & video, indoor & outdoor lighting techniques, lightspeed workflow, album design, focusing on your business, web promotion, promotions & location lighting

Thinking about WPPI reminded me of this past year and how fun it was. Here’s a free little clip from my talk.

What would blow your socks off?

WPPI was such a blast this year.

One of my favorite things was the Fast Track Blogger Lounge as well as the Fast Track Jelly on the second floor. None of it could have happened without a crew of folks chipping in.

Between The Bui Brothers, Skip Cohen of WPPI, Amit Gupta of Jelly and Photojojo, the amazing volunteers, the free WiFi, the incredible Jules Cafe cookies (thanks ladies) and cozy lovesac section (SFW), I think we had it pretty good! I can’t believe we were able to offer that for free. So cool.

You can see how my friend Aaron saw it on “The Big Picture” above.

What I’m really wondering though is if you were there (or even if you weren’t), what kind of experience at a trade show could we create next year that would absolutely blow your socks off? Wanna help us make it a reality??

Share with us!!

What would make a space like that remarkable, given that it’s a trade show? No from-the-stands, drive-by, color commentary please… only ideas that you’re willing to make real with us! What I mean is if you have a suggestion, picture yourself helping us make it happen. If it passes that leadership test, share away! We want you to play a part!!

Bless you guys and thanks again everyone!
