About the event
The Elevate Conference is a high-energy, three-day event designed to educate, inspire, and connect photographers from across the region.
We kick things off with hands-on Pre-Con Workshops—available as standalone classes or exciting add-ons to your full conference experience. Then Friday night, we’re throwing it back with a totally rad '80s Ski Lodge Party—costumes encouraged, dancing guaranteed!
Saturday is Colorado Day, featuring a dynamic lineup of local photographers leading a variety of classes and demos. That evening, we celebrate creativity and community at our Awards Dinner.
We close out on Sunday with our Closing Keynote from our current Professional Photographers of America President —a full day of education from a top industry leader to send you home inspired and ready to elevate your craft.
