Networking and professional development are must-haves for any photographer. Here’s an opportunity to get both: the Sports Shooter Academy XI Open House in Costa Mesa, California on Nov. 5. The event is open to the public and completely free.

Be the first to see new products from camera companies, purchase gear at discounted prices and enjoy talks from high-profile photographers.

Gawk at Gear at the Trade Show and Workshops

How would you like to see the new Nikon D750, D810 and D750? Or how about the PocketWizard Plus III and Honl Photo's cool light modifiers (including the just announced Light Paddle?) Workshop sponsors such as Nikon Professional Services, PhotoShelter, Honi Photo and PocketWizard will display their equipment and have representatives available for questions. You will also be able to check out gear at the “mobile store” of Samy’s Camera, which will have special pricing for attendees on dozens of products.

Win Cool Prizes

On top of that, you’ll have the chance to win prizes from workshop sponsors and from Think Tank Photo and Custom SLR, or even get a copy of Brad Mangin’s book: Instant Baseball: The Baseball Instagrams of Brad Mangin, which he will sign and personalize that evening.
