Society for Photographic Education Annual Conference
Family Values
Orlando, FL | March 9-12, 2017

This year I was the only person from JSU to attend the national conference. I was able to attend thanks to a $500 Travel Award from SPESC that helped cover my expenses. I drove down on Wednesday and stayed offsite at The Fountains. I attended some really excellent panels and met up with some friends, but this SPE conference felt off. I think the hotel location was bad — there was nothing within walking distance, and attendance was definitely below average.
