On July 9-10th our CEO and CTO will be attending the 3rd annual Microsoft Pro Photo Summit, a two-day, invitation-only event that brings together renowned professional photographers and industry leaders to discuss the top issues affecting the industry.
The event will open with keynote presentations by Microsoft Chief Technical Officer David Vaskevitch and world-renowned nature photographer Frans Lanting.
Some other agenda topics for the ‘08 event include Victor Perlman (ASMP) and John Harrington (Washington DC Photographer) with an update about Orphan Works, Photographer Louis Lesko’s (Blinkbid) interestingly titled talk “Let the Photo Pirates Have Their Way” and a microstock photography session from the folks at iStockPhoto and Selling-Stock (Lise Gagne and Jim Pickerell, respectively).
Also on the schedule are a number of Microsoft Rich Media Group presentations, a Presidential campaign photography talk by Melina Mara (Washington Post), Eric Chan’s camera profiling session (Adobe) and David Riecks‘ Photo Metadata Project discussion (ControlledVocabulary).
Microsoft’s Josh Weisberg will make the Summit’s closing comments this year.
It will be exciting to find out more about what’s coming out of Redmond during this summit. Hopefully we’ll have some interesting tid-bits to share with you next week, stay tuned!
