Take Five: Announcing the Fifth Annual Night Photo Summit
We are “over the Frost Moon” to announce the event you have all been waiting for: the 2025 Night Photo Summit!
We’ll be kicking off our fifth annual virtual conference this January 24-26, 2025.
We have gathered many of the top night photographers and creators from all over the world—some familiar faces and some new—to inspire you for three days and nights.
All in all, we’ll have over 35 speakers and 45 hours of education for you to “seize”—not only for the weekend of January 24th, because your ticket will also get you unlimited access to recordings of all the classes for a full year after the conference!
Beyond the education there will be virtual breakout rooms to confab with speakers after their classes, or to just meet up with like-minded folks. We also have some pretty fun virtual parties as well as many as 75 giveaways that could total over $15,000!
So join the inspiration and education, the camaraderie and fun, known to the universe as the Night Photo Summit. If you love the night, you’ll want to be here!
