About Imaging USA

Imaging USA’s mission is to be the first major photographic event of the year that brings together the forward-thinking photographers and business leaders whose ideas spark innovation and change in the industry.

It is the longest running national photographic convention, expo, and image exhibition in the United States, drawing thousands of professionals from around the world. Dating back to 1880, when it began as the annual convention and tradeshow for Professional Photographers of America, the event is always growing and evolving.

Imaging USA has added two co-located conferences: SEPCON, the annual conference of the Society of Sport and Event Photographers; and EPIC School, an educational meeting for the Evidence Photographers International Council. Today the annual convention is a collaborative effort of all three organizations, as well as the Stock Artists Alliance and the Commercial Photographers International (CPI).

Major components of Imaging USA are the Imaging EXPO tradeshow; several all-inclusive parties; and presentations by some of the biggest names in the photographic industry. Imaging USA’s renowned educational classes are geared to improve a photographer’s business skills, photographic repertoire, and use of technologies. In 2006, Imaging USA welcomed Adobe as a partner, now the official sponsor the Adobe Photography Solutions educational track.
