B&H Imaging on the Verge
The second annual Imaging on the Verge (IOV) gathering is an exploration, a learning event, and a place for lively debates about current philosophies and the future of teaching and photography, and about the future of both. It will also be an opportunity for educators to do what we ask of our students: to safely challenge each other during discussions about what photography, imaging and education should be in the 21st Century.
Topics of discussion include Video for Photography Programs: Incorporating Visual Communication in Modern Photography Curricula, Preparing Successful and Employable College Graduates, and Higher Education Photo Programs: Key Points to the Admissions Process.
Imaging on the Verge will take place on Wednesday, October 24th in Hall 1-B at the Jacob Javits Center and will be followed by a cocktail party. Registration is free to all educators.
