How Should You Prepare For WPPI 2024?
Learn About the Conference Beforehand

Plan Your Schedule
It’s always good to make a list of your must-do’s. These are the things you absolutely don’t want to miss. Then include an additional list of “nice to haves”, which you may or may not have time to squeeze in.
1. Attend Seminar Classes
The most important thing about WPPI are undoubtedly the classes, which are being taught by the who’s who of photography. Find out which speakers are relevant to your photography business and attend their seminar classes. It’s best to arrive early for each session to guarantee a seat and of course it doesn’t hurt to take notes. When you arrive back home, you’ll be able to quickly recall the details from those amazing speakers.
2. Search New Vendors
Keep a list of all the vendors you wish to visit. Besides Zno Cloud, there are many other vendors participating in WPPI 2024, such as nPhoto, Pictime, Studio Ninja and many more. You’ll have more than enough time to visit the booths and learn about new products and services, so just go ahead!
3. Brand Yourself
You’re bound to meet other professional photographers at WPPI 2024. A great question is how can you make the most of it? Business cards are a tried and true method. A well-designed business card can make a good impression and allow you to introduce your photography business. In addition to that, business cards are a simple and effective way to exchange contact information with others. Maybe these attendees won’t have time to get an in-depth look at your photography business during the expo, but this will at least provide some way to follow-up later.
Bring The Right Gear
To make your journey more enjoyable, don’t forget to wear comfortable walking shoes and clothing. Also try to only carry what you need, such as a small camera, batteries, chargers and memory cards. Make sure you have enough space in your luggage for all your belongings, especially if you want to bring extra clothing for going to evening parties.
