If you ever get the chance to attend a B&H OPTIC conference, run don't walk, to attend. The conference was presented at the Conference Center in Monterey, CA, last weekend. I live on the central coast of California so I will probably never get to B&H's store in NYC, but I could drive to the conference. All the major camera manufacturers were represented. The B&H employees who represented the manufacturers were extremely knowledgeable about all products, not just the ones they were representing. All the presenters were excellent. Multiple photo set ups were arranged for attendees. Thank you B&H for an excellent conference. I hope you return next year.

I thought about going from Vegas, but the timing did not work out. I caught some on streaming. They do a great job!
B&H has had an OPTIC conference in NYC for the past several years. I have attended most of them. It has always been a great experience to go and see all the vendors. It is a free event, with lots of perks for attending.
Does anyone know if they have any more scheduled and where?
If no reply I will just contact B&H.

They will probably have one in New York in the Spring. The website says to stay tuned for updates. No dated is posted.
Since I work in NYC about one half hour away. This store is indeed a delight. I can get what I want and need. I love the candy dishes placed around the store. That way I can bring home candies to my wife
I caught some of the Optic West conference on-line. The sessions I saw were outstanding. Plus Frans Lanting, one of the keynote speakers, offered a segment where he selected and critiqued a few images that had been submitted to B&H in advance of the conference. Amazingly he chose one of mine, and I fared pretty well! All he suggested was some cropping to focus in on the action. I chose this image because i know he's partial to images that show animal behavior.
