“The 2024 Canadian Imaging Conference and Expo was an unforgettable experience. Sharing moments with fellow photographers and attending inspiring conferences truly ignited my creativity. From insightful workshops to thought-provoking talks, every day left me brimming with new ideas and inspiration. I returned home not only with a head full of exciting concepts to explore but also a heart full of wonderful memories. The connections I made and the knowledge I gained will undoubtedly shape my upcoming projects. I’m already looking forward to the 2025 Canadian Imaging Conference and Expo—it promises to be another incredible opportunity for growth and inspiration!”

“Attending CICE is like going to a family reunion! Over the years, I have developed lasting friendships with like-minded people, and sometimes it’s only after meeting them once. Something just clicks, (pun intended). The education is first-rate and I am always inspired to try something new that I learned during my time at CICE. Oh, and the gala dinner and awards night is extra special when we get to celebrate everyone’s accomplishments together. Knowing the hard work put into this business of photography is what makes the successes so sweet!”

“While I haven’t been too long of a member, going to CICE has been a fun experience and I’m so glad that we are back doing things in person. CICE brings our PPOC community together and I always leave the conference weekend filled with inspiration and energy to create. It’s always great getting to know members each conference and every year becomes more like a reunion. It’s hard to explain in words the feelings of togetherness we feel when we get to do what we love to do together – photography. But you know it when you do. One of many favourite moments from last CICE in Canmore was when the northern lights came out on our last evening and a group of us ran out to photograph it. I’m sure there will be many moments like this at CICE 2024 and I look forward to seeing all my friends there!”
