Our Countdown to WPPI – What To Do After Hours

Brandy — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:38:35 +0000

We’ve got all the info on all the speakers, all the parties, and all the essential non-WPPI stuff that you need to see!

We’re breaking it down into what to do at the convention, who to see, where to go – and then we’ve got a whole lot of other stuff to do in Vegas while you are down there!

PARTIES

WPPI is as much about the social aspect as it is about learning. Networking and making new connections is important and easy to do.
One of the best ways to make new photographer friends is to attend one of the MANY parties being held by different vendors and sponsors. Here’s our guide to each night’s places to be!

NIGHTLIFE

If you are looking for somewhere to dance all night with all your crazy photographer friends, check out these Vegas hotspots. Let us know if you see any celebrities! Dress to impress as most of these clubs have a dress code, and most often fab looking ladies will get pulled from line and get in for free. Sorry guys, it’s for your own good once you get inside.
