Photo Plus Expo 2008

Monday, August 18th, 2008

PDN/Photo Plus Expo has just opened up registration for their 2008 conference held at the Jacob Javitts Center in Manhattan. I will be conducting a panel discussion called Photobook Publishing: The Inside View from 3:45-5:45 on Thursday, October 23rd with editors from Phaidon, Harry N. Abrams and Princeton Architectural Press. I ran this panel last year and am happy to be asked back again for 2008. The panel gives photographers a view of what happens both before and after a book has been signed or committed from the editor’s viewpoint. It’ll be an insightful afternoon. There are also lots of other workshops going on. Just before my panel (also on Thursday) will be the panel discussion First Impressions: Selling Yourself in 20 Minutes led by Mary Virginia Swanson. Sign up for both now!
