Photography we ask you use in your social interaction, but not in any misaligned purpose.

Audio/video recording by anyone – other than the Official SPAC Photographic Contractor – is strictly prohibited on the trade show floor, and in the educational sessions. Some of our Speakers and Educators will share their presentations, and some not. It is at the sole discretion of the speaker.

We have 3 (4 on Thursday) tracks of sessions taking place succinctly. We offer a variety of sessions regarding School Photography, Sports Photography, and then general classes that appeal to a broader spectrum, such as Marketing and Sales. Additionally, we offer specialty sessions, such as Senior Portraits,PreSchool Photography, Dance Studio, etc. Most companies invest in bringing a team for in depth training. Bringing their top photographer to partake in the demonstration on techniques, their top sales representative to have them participate in the Sales and Marketing sessions. Lead production person to be trained in workflow. Then naturally the smaller group discussions for long time SPAC attendees, engaging in topics such as employee issues, legal aspects, discussing new paradigm our business is expanding into.

No you can pick and choose the sessions you attend. However on Wednesday we do offer Pre-Conference Tracks: School 101 , Sports 101 that is an all day class, ideal for our newer attendees, or new to business. Great classes to cover the spectrum of School Photography and Sports 101 “Team and Individual” business. These Pre-Conference Tracks do have an additional registration fee, and sign up.
