I know, I know: this is a site devoted to web-based info and education. But here’s the thing–photography is not one of those areas that gets covered much online. So the IAFN’s Photography Summit, coming up this March, is probably a pretty good use of resources. Best practices, research, clinical issues–it’s all there. And it’s in San Diego, which is not a bad place to travel to, particularly if you’re in one of the snowier or colder parts of the world.
It’s a great-looking agenda (full disclosure: I’m on it, moderating, not teaching). And the speakers include military and civilian professionals, so there’s definitely something for everyone. It’ll be held at the Westin, March 14th and 15th. You can register for the Summit here.
