Series of super-speedy educational presentations takes place Thursday, March 11th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV

Las Vegas, NV, (March 8, 2010) WPPI Booth #1719 – Kubota Image Tools is pleased to announce the first-ever Photographers Ignite sessions to take place 9-11am, Thursday, March 11, 2010 at the (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) WPPI Convention and trade show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV.

Ignite is a style of concentrated presentation where participants are given exactly five minutes to speak on a subject accompanied by 20 slides. Each slide is displayed for only 15 seconds before being automatically advanced. Photographers Ignite is focused on photography topics, tips, hints and inspiration. It’s a challenging new way for photographers to share ideas and stories, five minutes at a time. There will be about 15-20 session ideas selected.

“I can’t wait to get the first Photographers Ignite session off the ground at WPPI,” said Kevin Kubota, Idea Man of Kubota Image Tools. “This whole concept is about digging deep, sharing a story, teaching a lesson, pulling at heart strings, changing a mind, raising eyebrows, or just making people laugh. We are so pleased that WPPI agreed to host this first ever photography event of its kind. And I’m happy to say that this session is open for viewing to all WPPI attendees. It’s sure to be a good time had by all and hopefully the first of many more to come.”

Photographers Ignite presentations are sure to be educational, inspirational, motivational, or just funny. Each session will be photography related, or related to running a photography business.
