Speaker suggestions for 2013 NPAC

[Ben Nelms]

Hope all had a filling Thanksgiving,

It is time to start thinking about what speakers you would like to see present at the NPAC 2013 conference in April.

If anyone has an idea on a photographer you have always wanted to see, or someone who is working on something that intrigues you right now, let me know.

Where is the 2013 conference being held? Just wondering.

[Jimmy Jeong]

Hi Dave, I heard the conference will be in Las Vegas this year. All photos shot in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Actually, it will be held in Calgary.
Cheers
Jimmy

[John Lehmann]

Las Vegas what a great idea. We should really look into holding it there.

[Ben Nelms]

Las Vegas; cheap flights, cheap hotels.

[Todd Korol]

I think Vegas would be a great idea, cheap flights for everyone, whole range of hotels, great food, warm weather, and much easier to bring in speakers.

[Tim Smith]

I strongly second Stephanie Sinclair, Aaron Huey and Donald Webber.

Id also love to see

Brent Stirton
Kitra Cahana
Amy Toensing
Lana Slezic
Matt Eich

To name a few.

[Geoff Lister]

That'd be fun, a Canadian conference in one of the most un-Canadian places haha.

Anyways:

Craig F. Walker (Colorado, two Pulitzers)
Chase Jarvis (Seattle)
Mikey Schaefer (Washington)
Rob Haggart (Colorado)
Zach Arias (Georgia)

[Ali Ledgerwood]

Alright, I'll look at Vegas for 2014.  I'll have to check with our Trade Show peeps to make sure that they can bring their kit in.

Meanwhile, I'm working on Calgary.  (I'll put some palm trees in the conference room, if it helps!)

Cheers,
Ali

[Jack Simpson]

I thought Calgary was the Vegas of Canada

As for photographers:

Joao Silva
Greg Marinovich
Barbara Davidson (if she ain't done it already)
Frayer
Rafal Gerszak

Cheers,

Jack
