How to Get the Most Out of Imaging USA 2025

maging USA is just around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited to connect with photographers from all over! Whether this is your first time attending or you're a seasoned conference-goer, we’ve put together some tips to help you make the most of your experience. Plus, we’re thrilled to share all the ways you can connect with CloudSpot at this amazing event.

What to Bring

Preparation is key to having a successful and stress-free conference experience. Here’s a quick checklist to ensure you’re ready:

• Comfortable Shoes: You’ll be walking and standing a lot, so your feet will thank you.
• Business Cards: Networking is a big part of Imaging USA, so bring plenty of cards to hand out. Not into physical cards? Check out digital business cards like Blinq
• Notebook or Tablet: Whether you’re attending workshops or visiting booths, taking notes will help you retain all the great info. We love this notebook from Amazon. 
• A Tote or Backpack: You’ll want something to carry all the swag and materials you’ll collect. Here is a great tote bag that is lightweight and has a zipper. 
• Chargers and Portable Power Banks: Keep your devices powered up to stay connected and capture all the highlights.
• Snacks and Water: Stay energized and hydrated throughout the day.

What to Look Out For

Imaging USA is packed with opportunities to learn, connect, and grow as a photographer. Here are some key things to add to your schedule:

• Workshops and Classes: With a wide variety of educational sessions, there’s something for everyone—from technical skills to business growth strategies.
• The Expo Hall: Discover the latest gear, tools, and resources to level up your photography business. Be sure to stop by the CloudSpot booth for exciting demos and giveaways!
• Networking Opportunities: Take advantage of happy hours, meet-and-greets, and other social events to build connections with fellow photographers and industry leaders.

Make sure to look over the schedule before the conference to plan out your days!
