Christopher W Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! It'll be my first one and I am overwhelmed. Any recommendations from veterans on who gives some of the better classes? Looking forward to also meeting some of you FM peeps. Oct 28, 2009 at 06:24 PM

Tony Hoffer Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! I'm also curious about what speakers ya'll have enjoyed. Oct 28, 2009 at 06:28 PM

Ryan Britton Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! Look at the speakers' work and sites. If you don't like those, you're less likely to get something useful out of the session. The opposite applies as well. Oct 28, 2009 at 06:29 PM

Ryan Britton Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! Registered both Amy and I. Tip: snag a hotel registration with the WPPI group rate, then watch the MGM site and re-book if something lower comes up as it gets closer. We got $69/night last year doing that.

DB Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! Matt and I are still deciding on how to get our best bang for our buck. Is WPPI totally worth it? Or would we get more out of doing some kind of mentorship or a workshop together. I'm not sure if we can take off that much time, either. Oct 28, 2009 at 08:02 PM

Yeah, I'm planning on going, and my priorities are: 50% social 40% trade show 10% classes Point being that I don't think WPPI is the best place to learn how to make a standout business... because there are thousands of others hearing the same things.

Sarah Dickerso Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! Man. I really want to go. Just don't know how long I can go for. I am taking lots of time off of work next year for shooting already!! Oct 28, 2009 at 08:41 PM

Ditto, there are probably better places to get "great, or more taylored" learning, but WPPI for me is about meeting people, networking and being in the moment. I went last year and had a great time. I think one of the things I found is that I was hangin out and going to the classes of some of the "lesser know" speakers, and that for me was a good thing, learned a lot. I would say you owe it to yourselves to go and see for yourself. Oct 28, 2009 at 08:57 PM

austinstrobist Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! I am also planning on going, specifically for the classes, but also for the networking opportunities. Seems like good times and I also want to see all of the different albums and options that are out there. Oct 28, 2009 at 09:49 PM

Ben C Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #15 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! Hi, Gang, I am teaching a Guerrilla Lighting master class at WPPI. I will post a direct link once the official WPPI program is available. In the meanwhile, you can read about it in my blog at http://www.socalpixels.com/blog/?p=4523 . I am also interested the FM GTG. Please keep me posted. Ben Edited on Oct 30, 2009 at 09:33 AM · View previous versions Oct 28, 2009 at 11:11 PM

ksmahgrts Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #16 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! jose villa's master class is already sold out Oct 28, 2009 at 11:18 PM

Andy Wood Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #17 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! The plus classes are excellent for the money. Many of the guys teaching these 2 day classes are really good. For 579 you get what some of these guys charge 2k for at their own seminars. Also the master classes at 3 for 100 bucks is a sweet deal. 3 x 2 hour classes with a small intimate size class for that kind of money is a great deal. Angie and I will be teaching a Platform come check it out http://www.wppionline.com/storage/lasvegas/plat.html Oct 29, 2009 at 02:46 AM

Given that less than 10% will do anything with what they learn that's probably not so much of a problem. Oct 29, 2009 at 12:58 PM

DB Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #20 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! Has anyone here gone to a plus class? Those sound interesting - I may talk to Matt about something like that. We've been interested in Cliff Mautner's workshop, I wonder if his plus class will be similar. Oct 29, 2009 at 02:02 PM

We did one our first year, and it helped us immensely. I do think we lucked out though because there hasn't been a similar-sounding one since (can't remember what it was called, unfortunately, but it had something to do with developing a consistent style across the engagement and wedding). The years since we've passed on them. Aside from that first plus class, we've had the best luck just wandering in to platform sessions. Some of the most well-known ones have been worthless to us while some doing it for the first time have been incredibly useful, even if going in we weren't sure what to expect. I think it really depends on you and what you want to get out of it too. Oct 29, 2009 at 02:40 PM

Same here... I love going, but mostly because I love Vegas and it's a great excuse to hang out with friends for a week, drop in on a couple classes taught by people that inspire me, and go nuts drooling over gear. Priorities this year... I signed up for the 2 day Plus class with Jerry Ghionis and I plan on bringing a mint for gear. We don't have any shops here where we can go in and actually test stuff out before we buy it, so the trade show is like my dream come true. I love internet shopping, but I love being able to put my hands on stuff and ask questions even more. Oct 29, 2009 at 03:31 PM

rosaura Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #23 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! I'm excited about going too but feeling like I have too many choices. Thinking about doing a plus class. This will be my first time going... excited about it! Are you guys members of wppi? What do you get by being a member? Is it worth it to sign up? Thanks! ~r Oct 29, 2009 at 09:38 PM

sinbad747 Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #24 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! DB, I didn't get a chance to go to the Plus classes because I decided to late to go last year and EVERYTHING was booked up that I wanted, but the people I talked to what were able to attend said that they were definitively worth it. The classes are smaller and the instructors have more time to interact with people. Marvs Oct 30, 2009 at 08:24 AM

ARDENT Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #25 · WPPI registration opens this afternoon! SO it sounds like there are quite a few of us that will be going to WPPI this year. Rick and I are planning on attending but we had a booking for the 6th so will be catching the tail end of it. Sorry if this has already been mentioned but are there any SET plans for a FM meet up? I've heard everyone say how great it would be and I definitely agree! If we haven't decided on a date or put an FM meeting on the books yet maybe we could shoot for Monday the 8th or later... (for my own little selfish reasons of wanting to attend lol) Nov 20, 2009 at 02:03 AM
