Welcome to The Peculiar Conference 2024! This year, we are thrilled to bring together an extraordinary lineup of speakers to help you elevate your craft and business in the ever-evolving photography industry. As Instagram algorithms continue to change, inflation impacts our economy, and clients return to work, staying ahead of the curve is crucial. Our speakers, including renowned photographers Sophia Barrett, Sophia Williams, Keydrin Franklin, Ab Sesay, Lajune King, and Jeremiah Drummond, are here to provide you with the insights, techniques, and strategies you need to thrive in these dynamic times. Join us on November 8th and 9th at the BWI Marriott for an inspiring and transformative experience!
