Question
What are the key insights from Scott Kivowitz's experience at PhotoPlus Expo 2018?
Answer
From my PhotoPlus Expo 2018 recap, a few key insights stand out:
-
The real value is in walking, talking, and learning – nonstop conversations with vendors, educators, and other photographers are where a lot of the growth happens.
-
I used the show to have focused meetings with brands like Parrot, BenQ, and Gnarbox, which is great for building long-term relationships and collaborations.
-
Hands-on time with new gear (like the Nikon Z7) is huge. Trying equipment in person, asking questions, and comparing options side by side is something online research cannot fully replace.
-
Just as important, I got to catch up with friends I only see at these events, reinforcing how powerful in‑person community is for photographers.
Is there a specific aspect you’d like me to dive deeper into—networking, gear, or education at events like this?
