From groundbreaking gear to essential business solutions, WPPI’s tradeshow provides photographers with everything they need to stay on the cutting edge—while forming connections that can enhance their careers and businesses.
WPPI PODCAST STAGE
Step inside the conversations shaping the photography industry right now. The WPPI Podcast Stage brings some of the most respected and talked-about photography podcasters together for live, on-stage interviews happening throughout the Expo.
Across three days, you’ll hear unfiltered discussions with working photographers, educators, brand leaders, and creative voices who are actively influencing where photography is headed next. From business strategy and marketing shifts to creative evolution and real-world experiences behind the camera, these sessions are designed to keep you informed, inspired, and ahead of the curve.
Set inside the Brasilia Ballroom, the experience is casual, engaging, and easy to drop into as you explore the Expo floor. Pull up a seat, stay for one conversation or several, and get a front-row view into the ideas, challenges, and opportunities shaping photography today and tomorrow.
The WPPI Podcast Stage is located in the Brasilia Ballroom
STUDIO BAYS
In the Brasilia Ballroom, the Studio Bays are where ideas turn into images. This year, four professionally styled bays invite you to step behind the camera and photograph in beautifully crafted environments inspired by Annie Leibovitz. Think classic Oliphant-style backdrops, immaculate lighting setups, and thoughtfully styled models, all ready for you to explore. Whether you’re putting a new technique into practice, refreshing your portfolio, or simply carving out time to create, these bays are built for hands-on discovery and creative play. Proudly sponsored by Bay Photo, it’s an immersive experience designed to feel both elevated and welcoming, and very WPPI.

CANON PRINT HUB
Create it. Capture it. See it in print.
This year in the Brasilia Ballroom, the Canon Print Hub gives you the chance to take your work from camera to finished print, right on the WPPI expo floor.
Photograph in our styled studio bays or during one of the Photo Walks, then head straight to Canon’s dedicated printing space to bring your images to life. Watch your work transform from digital file to tangible print in real time, and experience the impact that paper, color, and finish can have on your final image.
It’s a powerful reminder that photography doesn’t end on a screen. It lives in print.
Stop by between sessions, print your favorite frame, and walk away with something you can hold, share, and showcase.
