WPPI Announces Call for Entries for its Third Annual Photographers Ignite Event
Event honors creativity, idea sharing and learning at annual WPPI Convention and Trade Show
Hollywood, CA (January 10, 2012) – Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) today announced the call for entries for its third annual Photographers Ignite event , which will now be the WPPI 2012 opening program taking place in the Central Ballroom on Sunday, February 19, 2012 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. This high energy, fun and entertaining event will be followed by an after party with drinks and live music.
Ignite Presentations offer an exciting way to present educational, motivational or downright funny topics to an audience. During Ignite Presentations, a speaker shares ideas by showing exactly 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds—so each presentation lasts five minutes. Presentations are concise, creative and educational. Photographers are required to submit an Ignite presentation video proposal by January 20, 2012. Click here for the Photographer Ignite proposal form. Fifteen proposals will be chosen and presenters will be notified by January 25th.
“Originally the closing program to previous WPPI Conventions, we’re excited to announce that Photographers Ignite is stepping into the limelight to become the WPPI 2012 opening program,” said George Varanakis, Show Director of WPPI and Publisher of Rangefinder. “The success of past Photographers Ignite sessions made it a no-brainer to kick off this year’s WPPI 2012 events with what has become one of our most popular events.”
All WPPI 2012 classes, events and trade show will take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV, from February 16-23, 2012. WPPI is the biggest show in the world for wedding and portrait photographers. Last year, more than 16,000 professional photographers gathered in Las Vegas, NV, to learn from the best and see the latest and greatest products from the hundreds of exhibitors that participate in the trade show.
