This month’s meeting we are back participating at the Profusion 2024 Expo. This is a great venue to host a Section meeting.

Topic for the evening: Still & Video Photography and How AI Can Play a Role

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a hot topic, with extensive discussions and writings on its capabilities, its impact on the workforce, and the potential challenges it presents. We are honored to have two distinguished guests, well-known in our industry, who will share their valuable insights.

Our lineup of presenters includes:

He will share some personal experiences and outcomes from past AI photography projects. This presentation is suitable for photographers of all experience levels, using any technology from smartphones to advanced cameras.
