More than 300 industry photo-specialty dealers gathered in Henderson, Nev., July 16-18, for the annual IPIC conference by the IPI Member Network. This year’s theme was “Be Bold,” which showed by a large number of member-driven or requested topics. Once again, the conference was preceded by themed boot camps on topics of school and sports photography and consumer events.
During the conference proper, popular sessions topics included photo organizing, latex printers, direct-to-garment printing, social media, marketing and b-to-b sales. The event also included a tour of IPI member Cashman ProPhoto Lab.
