Kubota Image Tools Announces First Photographers Ignite Event at WPPI Convention
Proposals will be accepted for a series of super-speedy presentations until January 29, 2010
Bend, OR – (December 15, 2009) – Kubota Image Tools is pleased to announce the first-ever Photographers Ignite sessions to take place 9-11am, Thursday, March 11, 2010 at the (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) WPPI Convention at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. And proposals for these fast-paced sessions are now being reviewed and accepted. Professional photographers interested in being a presenter, please visit: photographersignite.com/
Ignite is a style of concentrated presentation where participants are given exactly five minutes to speak on a subject accompanied by 20 slides. Each slide is displayed for only 15 seconds before being automatically advanced. Photographers Ignite is focused on photography topics, tips, hints and inspiration. It’s a challenging new way for photographers to share ideas and stories, five minutes at a time. There will be about 15-20 session ideas selected.
“I can’t wait to get the first Photographers Ignite session off the ground at WPPI,” said Kevin Kubota, Idea Man of Kubota Image Tools. “This whole concept is about digging deep, sharing a story, teaching a lesson, pulling at heart strings, changing a mind, raising eyebrows, or just making people laugh. We are so pleased that WPPI agreed to host this first ever photography event of its kind. And I’m happy to say that this session is open for viewing to all WPPI attendees. It’s sure to be a good time had by all and hopefully the first of many more to come.”
The deadline for submitting topic ideas for the WPPI 2010 Photographers Ignite session is January 29, 2010. Those selected to present will be notified by February 3rd, 2010. Photographers can submit as many proposals as they want.
Please keep in mind, presentations should:
- Be educational, inspirational, motivational, or just funny.
- Be photography related, or related to running a photography business.
- Be new – not previously presented material.
- Not be a sales pitch for any particular product or service.
- Be rehearsed and thought out carefully. Presenters only have five minutes to make an impression!
