OPTIC 2020: Outdoor, Photo/Video, Travel, Imaging Conference Online, June 7 and 8, 2020

June 2, 2020 By PhotoContest.org Leave a Comment

B&H, in partnership with Lindblad Expeditions, is thrilled to announce OPTIC 2020, on June 7 and 8. This year marks the sixth year of OPTIC, and its first digital version, existing entirely online. Wildlife, landscape, and travel photographers from around the world will now be able to stream lectures, submit to image critiques, participate in the OPTIC Challenge, attend a virtual trade show, and join OPTIC hangouts to network and chat. This year also marks the first edition of OPTIC Magazine, a digital publication dedicated to the conference, packed with articles, interviews, photos, and promotions.

With an emphasis on conservation, this year’s keynote speakers Ami Vitale (June 7) and Clyde Butcher (June 8) headline an impressive lineup of talented photographers including: Lizzy Gadd, Sean Kernan, Rich Reid (Lindblad Expeditions), Ralph Lee Hopkins (Lindblad Expeditions), Ron Magill (Nikon), Pete McBride (Sony), Caroline Jensen (Sony), Annie Griffith (Panasonic), and Trupal Pandya (Profoto). You will be able to watch their lectures, webinars, and Q&A sessions in real-time via the main OPTIC page.

Despite operating remotely this year, B&H OPTIC continues to foster the community spirit that has made it such a popular gathering. OPTIC hangouts will serve as an opportunity to network, ask questions, and exchange ideas in a B&H-hosted chatroom.
