About this Event
An offshoot of our Photography Portfolio Reviews! Geared towards both early/emerging photographers and more experienced folks interested in joining the conversation. Our roundtables will be held adjacent to our reviews at East Room.
Roundtables offer a unique opportunity to connect with fellow creatives in an intimate, small-group environment. Guided by professionals in the photography industry, six themed roundtables will take place during the afternoon of our Photography Portfolio Review.
Join the discussion, share your questions, and explore new techniques that will expand your creative toolkit. You’ll leave feeling inspired, informed, and ready to take your work to the next level.
Roundtables will run two at a time - be sure not to register for two roundtables happening at the same time!
Plus, join in on our Photography Portfolio Review After-Party! We'll have cocktails for purchase by our friends at Cry Baby, and snacks by Pasta Forever. Entry is free for those attending a roundtable.
