About this event
Instead of sponsoring a separate convention, the 4Cs will hold its print display and awards program at the PSA convention in a large, complimentary room on Friday the 26th. We are on the schedule for Friday, 9-26. Stay tuned for our schedule. 4Cs members will be able to attend either a single day on the 26th or the full conference. The prints will be on display all day, and the 4Cs awards program will likely be in the morning.
The 2025 PSA Convention will be held in Portland in September, with workshops and field trips starting on the 22nd, speakers on the 24th - 26th.
The speakers on the 26th will be:
Jeff Schewe: A Fine Art Photographer's Workflow - https://schewephoto.com
Tim Grey: Optimizing to Perfection in Lightroom Classic - http://www.timgreyphoto.com/
Brooks Jensen: Photography off the Wall - https://www.brooksjensenarts.com/
Gary Crabbe: The Inner Game of Photography - https://enlightphoto.com/
Adam Jones (Canon Explorer of Light): Travel and Nature Photography - https://www.adamjonesphoto.com/
Note: the first four speakers will present on both Thursday and Friday. Adam Jones is the featured evening speaker for Friday; Ryan Smith and Alyce Bender will be the featured evening speakers for Wednesday and Thursday respectively.
Registration for the day will be about $100, and full event registration will be $225 for PSA members and $325 for non-members. (Since you can join for $45 it makes more sense to do that than pay the non-member rate.)
The convention will be held at the Holiday Inn Columbia Riverfront, and the room rates are $149/$164 per night.
Sponsored field trips are expected to include Multnomah Falls, Cannon Beach, and Fort Vancouver. For more information as it becomes available, see the convention website at https://psaphotofestival.org.
