Pre-conference Workshops like "Shooting for Photoshop!"

If you're approaching digital the same way you shot film, then you have a lot to learn about shooting to take full advantage of the digital tools available. In this session you'll learn how to produce images that would be impossible in a traditional darkroom.

I have heard lots of comments over the past few years, and even excuses during photo competitions about how little "in camera" techniques people now know and/or utilize. This seminar seems like it would address getting back into the CAMERA.

This regular workshop covers a similar topic -- the CAMERA!

Photography for Photoshop
The best images start in your camera. Learn the essential camera settings, shooting strategies, and recommended equipment to take the best source images to create high-quality panoramas, High Dynamic Range, Helicon Focus, and noise-free images.

The Guru Awards

The Guru Awards are a special Photoshop special Photoshop competition is just for Photoshop World attendees. We know that we have some VERY talented Photoshoppers among our ranks so the GURUS were created to honor and recognize their amazing skills. Conference attendees may enter up to three pieces for judging in any one (or more) of the seven available categories.

Keynote Speech

Keynote Speech - Every year, Photoshop World turns to one man as its keynote speaker, John Loiacono - senior vice president of the Adobe Creative Solutions Business Unit.

"Johnny L" (as he is affectionately known) is responsible for the development, delivery and marketing of Adobe's entire creative software portfolio. His easy-going attitude and sense of humor has really helped shape the Photoshop World keynote speech over the years and his ability and willingness to share some of Adobe's largest news nuggets exclusively with the Photoshop World audience has helped put us firmly on the map.

... Of course, this does not mean that he's off the hook when it comes to our practical jokes, which is the other great thing about our keynote speech. With Scott and the "Photoshop Guys" at the helm, it's more like a rock concert or a comedy club than a conference.

Midnight Madness

Midnight Madness - Between all the intense classes and events on the Expo floor, you'd think we'd fall into bed exhausted at the end of each day at Photoshop World that's where you'd be wrong!

Midnight Madness is the most highly-caffeinated audience participation Photoshop-themed game show in history! The only thing we promise is that you won't learn a thing about Photoshop here's but you'll have the most fun doing it! Plus, there are always many fabulous prizes to win, as long as you don't mind getting singled out a little. Bring your coffee mug and your sense of humor!

Tickets for Midnight Madness are available at Photoshop World on a first-come, first-served basis. However, these tickets go FAST and people have been known to camp out for them. Of course, you can always win them by entering this here Photoshop World Top Ten/Midnight Madness contest!

Dinner With A StrangerWednesday, March 25

An important part of the Photoshop World experience is making new friends, and if you're coming to Photoshop World by yourself, we've got a great way to do just that. It's called "Dinner with a Stranger" and here's how it works:

At our registration desk, we'll have a sign-up sheet with the names of some great nearby local restaurants. Add your name to that list, and then grab a red pin that reads "I'm a stranger."

Then later that night (the first night of the conference), you pin it on, and head for the restaurant. When you get there, you'll find a number of other people who are wearing the same pin, and you'll be joining these other "solo flyers" for a fun dinner and great conversation in a dining room reserved just for us "strangers."

It's a great way to meet new friends who share your passion for great food and Photoshop. Seating is limited, so sign up early on the first day of the conference (March 25, 2009) at the Main Registration Desk.

Conference Workbooks

Without a doubt, one of the most amazing things you get at Photoshop World is the conference workbook. It's more than 800 pages of detailed notes supplied by the instructors, complete with screen captures and graphics that follow right along with your classes. We have attendees tell us year-after-year that this workbook alone is worth the entire price of the conference.

Inside the workbook you'll find each instructors personally written notes for your class, so you can sit back, relax, and soak in the techniques you're learning in class, knowing that you've got detailed notes to refer back to after the conference. You'll find yourself referring to this workbook again and again, long after the conference is over, because it's packed with information you can only get at Photoshop World.

Best of all, you not only get notes for the sessions you attend--you get notes for every conference session, in every track, from every instructor that has provided their notes. This one-of-a-kind workbook is one of the things that's helped make Photoshop World a truly unique experience, and this incredible resource is all yours when you attend.
