ASPP EDUCATION CONFERENCE

The Hi-Ways and Buy-Ways of the Picture Professional Industry

April 24 – April 27, 2008
Phoenix Arizona


Every other year ASPP holds an Education Conference, and each time we are confronted with how to make it as relevant as possible to our members, and other colleagues. This year especially it seems as though our industry is in enormous flux with companies shifting, jobs disappearing and then reappearing in a different guise, and yet we all want to somehow keep our involvement in the image profession. The question is can we make a living from it?

If you want to find out what is happening in our industry, and where we think it is heading, then you MUST come to Phoenix in April for our Education Conference. We think it’s the best value around … and it is so much fun! The full conference is just $450 for ASPP members and that includes two receptions, breakfasts and lunches on Friday and Saturday, the Gala dinner on Saturday night, as well as eight educational sessions. (PACA members are being invited as our special guests, at a rate of $540, and other members of the Imagery alliance at a rate of $590).

PACA and ASPP will also do a joint tribute to our late departed and dearest friend, Jane Kinne, on the Saturday evening.
