ImagingUSA 2023 Attendee Recap
The drive home from Professional Photographers of America ImagingUSA at the stunning Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee gave me time to reflect on this year's Conference experience.

We got into town early, so we had a chance to explore the Downtown area and walk the Honkey Tonk Highway. Afterwards, we enjoyed some Nashville Hot Chicken at Hattie B's. If you're in a town where they have a location, you should put this on your food itinerary!
The Opening Keynote by Simon T Bailey DBA, CSP, CPAE was the perfect choice to motivate everyone for the long days ahead. #simonsays
We got to hang out and catch up with our friends from Shoocha Photography, whom we were introduced to at ImagingUSA last year by our mutual friend, Francisco of FJH Photography. They are based in Corpus Christi, Texas and we are planning to visit them there again later this year for another round of Dog Mini Sessions at their Studio. Congratulations to Shyqeri Kuqi on your Merit awards for your incredible Photography submissions.
I met awesome people like Marina Larenz of Marina Larenz Photography. If you need a Photographer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, she's my recommendation!
I connected with Jeremy Hyler at the PhotoBiz booth and am looking forward to growing our relationship as an Ambassador. You can use our Promo Code: Tim23 to save 40% on your first year of service.
We bumped into and chatted with several notable photographers and creators whose work we admire, such as Miguel Quiles, Manny Ortiz and Ben Shirk.
I attended 8 classes on topics ranging from LinkedIn to Marketing & Sales. Tim attended classes on topics such as Posing, Lighting and Composites. There is something for everyone! I have always enjoyed learning, so the BNI Core Value of Lifelong Learning was in full effect during the Conference.
We explored the Vendor Expo to check out the latest and greatest industry equipment like Sigma lenses as well as source new product options for our Clients to display and enjoy their photos from Miller's Lab.
If you are a Photographer, we highly recommend putting ImagingUSA 2024 (January 28-30, 2024 in Louisville, Kentucky) on your calendar!
