ClickCon was a great experience. The Sessions were an hour long and a bit short when trying to talk about in depth topics and show examples at the same time. In 2020 they are having 90 min sessions. I...t was challenged to properly credit HMUA when taking model portraits and took months to get the credit for all of your photos and then to the models. I believe that will be fixed for 2020. I loved the classes outside shooting with models on the streets fo Chicago and getting portfolio work. It was also great to meet other photographers from the area to collab and work with in the future. I hope to shoot more models in 2020 and to work for other photogs after this conference. Read more

I enjoyed being a stylist and set designer for the photoshoot booths for this event, the energy was high and the responses from the photographers and venders was worth all of the hard work. Thank you ...Profoto and Nikon for letting me represent your booths. It was my honor. Shari Cornes at Boutique Photo Loft Read more

This was my very first photography convention I ever went to. I didn’t know what to expect, but I honestly didn’t expect a whole lot based on conversations I had with other photographers that attende...d other conventions. ClickCon blew my expectations away! First, the speakers and classes were absolutely wonderful. They were down to earth, and really invested in teaching us what makes them the best of the best! There were plenty of people available to help you find your next class. The showroom floor was amazing as well. We didn’t want to shoot much, but there were plenty of opportunity to shoot various looks right on the showroom floor. We met and spoke with vendors, and got to try new products. One of my favorite things during the whole convention was the photo walks at night. Chicago offers diverse backgrounds and the images I took were some of my favorites to date. We signed up to return the minute ClickCon 2020 was open for registration. We cannot wait. Another fabulous hotel in the heart of the city awaits! Read more

Click Con was the very first time to present in the Chicagoland area bad did it make such a great impression. This was my very first video /photo we're I as an up and coming graduate student from med...ia school had an opportunity to build a portfolio and invest in my goals and dream. The click con team was very nice informative and had everything you would need to advance your career. The speaker and instructors and actual shoot sessions were awesome. To work with a group of professionals who earn there living, doing what they love and own it! This event made me empowered and more secure in the choice I made to return to the media. Pick up my passion and follow my dreams. I hope to become more fluent and I wouldn't mind spending another week vacation to a stand click con again. It is worth every dime. Just think this was a 1 year ever event ran like a vetted conference in the world my had how's off to click con. I was first to shoot there. Read more
