Schedule Released – April 19, 2022

Greetings, Lightchasers! I’m incredibly excited to unveil our full 2022 Lightchasers conference schedule to you!

But before we get to that, there’s just a couple quick announcements you may have missed!

We have added two more speakers to the program: Kase Filters Ambassador Jim Brompton and multimedia artist Autumn Whiteway. Both will be bringing wonderful and diverse perspectives to the presentations. You can read more about them here!

And for those of you who are already registered, don’t forget to enter our Photo Contest before the end of the month! We have incredible prizes from our sponsors Kase Filters, ArtFulfill, Nikon and another soon-to-be-announced partner! Expect another announcement with more info in the coming days!

Now, without further ado, here’s what we have in store for you over the Lightchasers conference weekend! 2.5 days of jam-packed nature photography goodness featuring 15 presentations, breakout sessions with our brand partners (more info coming in the next few days), portfolio reviews, and more! I hope you’ll be just as excited about all this bang for your buck as I am! If you haven’t gotten your ticket yet, head over to our Lightchasers Conference website ASAP and get yours! They are going fast, as are the local hotel rooms in the area.

We’ll be sending another follow up with detailed presentation descriptions within the next two days as well. Or you can join the discussion on our Facebook page.
