Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 15, 2017 -- Registration for Professional Photographers of America's annual photography convention and expo is now open. Imaging USA 2018 will be held January 14 to 16 in Nashville, Tennessee at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. More than 10,000 industry professionals will take over Nashville for three days of photography workshops, business education and creative inspiration as well as some exclusive shopping.

Imaging USA is the longest-running international photographic convention, trade show and image exhibition in the world, drawing more than 10,000 photographers from across the globe. The event dates back to 1880, when it began as the annual convention and trade show for Professional Photographers of America (PPA). It continues to grow and evolve along with industry trends and technology.

This is the largest concentration of photographic talent gathered under one roof at any given point in time. Imaging USA is well-known for its three-day Imaging Expo trade show, featuring more than 600 booths, live presentations and hands-on demonstrations of new photo-related products by some of the most respected companies in the industry. Imaging USA's renowned educational classes are geared to improve a photographer's business skills, photographic repertoire and use of technologies. The event also features a special keynote address from Ryan Estis, an extensive photographic display of the International Photographic Competition collection, mentoring opportunities, portfolio reviews, several all-inclusive parties and much more.

Imaging USA is the first major, annual photography event of the year, where photographers seek to kick-start their business. Attendees typically leave Imaging USA feeling reinvigorated toward grooming and boosting their photography studios. The inspiration, skills and sometimes even new equipment picked up at Imaging USA can provide a photographer with a clear path for their business. And with 10,000 other photographers present, lasting connections are sure to be made.
