Why Photographers Keep Coming Back to SYNC

“If life is hard, you need your people. If life is good, it’s even better with your people. I’m lucky to have many incredible circles in my life, but something amazing happened when one of them convinced me to attend SYNC. The education, the venue, the people, the networking, the support, the late-night dance sessions, the vendors—it was everything we didn’t realize we needed. ”

Neoclis Angelides

“Year two was even better than our 1st, and we cannot thank Darty and Michele enough! The friendships and connections made are just as valuable as the classes and speakers you attend. This year we really felt like part of the family and can’t wait to collaborate throughout the year and come back and do it all again next year!”

Tony and Tammie Dixon

“You absolutely cannot exist as a “solopreneur” small business owner without your network of peers. Going to SYNC every year allows me to “Find My People” and continue to grow alongside some of the best people you can find. I have loved meeting so many amazing photographers through the conference and Luminary Exchange this year.”
