ClickCon 2025

The Click Con debut in 2019 was such a home run that I have attended each subsequent one. After three conferences now, I hear the term “clickcon family” more and more and this is not hyperbole. Th...ey have truly created a photography conference that has a heart. I think it stems from the founder through to the organizers, volunteers and attendees. It’s difficult to explain but everyone is so very welcoming. As for what it is like to attend, I especially like that I have the ability to photograph day and night if I wish. If you want to exercise your craft (photo, video, model, HMUA and more), this is THE conference to attend. Leer más

ClickCon is a conference where you meet new friends, have opportunities to network with a bunch of people, and learn from industry experts. What I love about the event is connecting with everyone. Ho...nestly, everyone is very nice and willing to help you out if you ask. I've been in classes where I felt comfortable going up to instructors and students I never met before asking questions that others may deem insignificant. It really is hard to explain the energy and good vibes that are felt. For example, I've asked to join numerous photoshoots that were scheduled outside of classes and I have always been welcome. Attendees understand it's a learning experience and not a fend for yourself conference. Another thing I loved was I saw people this year who I haven't seen since the first conference (2019) and it was like "Hey friend, how have you been?! Let's go have fun and collaborate on something big." Leer más

ClickCon is an amazing experience all around! Everyone is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and welcoming. Amazing conference every year!

I've attended ClickCon from the very first one, three total now. Each year gets better and better. It's difficult to fully describe how much fun you will have at ClickCon, you really need to experienc...e it. This conference is truly inclusive in all aspects, attendees, instructors, staff, and models. The creative teams of hair, makeup, and designers are top notch and fully open to collaborating with you. You will have so many opportunities to capture unique images while here, be it in classes, photo walks, or after hours networking with models and fellow photographers. I've met so many people that I am now friends with, and look forward to seeing again every year. The conference is like a huge family reunion. The diversity of the models and range of their genres is truly amazing. I'm amazed at how many looks a model will have here, and I want to photograph them all. Come with an open mind, ask questions, and have fun while being creative.There is always something going on 24/7 during the conference. Attending Max Day is a must. The creative team goes all out to make our models look stunning, and the locations are fantastic. Leer más

As a Speaker who has taught for many years at several different photography conferences, ClickCon is by far the best one. I have never experienced so much positive energy in one place for days at a t...ime and the amount of sharing that happens here. It is nonstop, 24/7 photography at its finest. From the gorgeous models to the amazing styling, the fabulous makeup and hair to the incredible costumes that make this conference rise above the rest. Attendees have the ability to go to classes and then practice what they’ve learned immediately with locations and models available to them to check out. Instructors are also available in between classes helping whenever necessary. As the conference grows, which it will, it’s creators, Sherry and Jeremey Hagerman, very much aware of what is happening in the industry will continue to change with it providing a much needed place for photographers to continue to improve their skills and build their portfolios and businesses.

ClickCon has a different vibe than most creator conferences... there is a genuine feeling of caring about the models well-being, supporting the HMUA team and providing the absolute best experience pos...sible for the photographers/videographers. As both an attendee and speaker, I can see it on both sides. With this spirit, it is a great foundation for building and extending personal and professional relationships and of course, creating all sorts of inspiring content. I have been to every ClickCon and already look forward to coming back for ClickCon 2023. Leer más

Dear Sherry and Click Con Staff, Click Con 2022 was a great experience. I met many wonderful people and learned from those whom we crossed paths earlier. This was a culmination of 7 years of trials a...nd triumph and awakening dormant dreams. I met a vendor who first crossed my path right at the beginning of my journey. One of the educators, Jerry, worked with the first dancer, Krysta, I ever photographed. This opportunity led me to find a photography mentor, Ryan, as we went skydiving for the dancer’s birthday. The person who invited me to Click Con was a fellow photographer, Alex, who I would meet at fashion shows in Chicago. One model, Lena, who I met the year prior, helped me create some groundbreaking images at The Palmer House. I would say the greatest moment was meeting a wonderful spirit, Kambua, who enters the room like a ray of sunshine. I was recently at a tech company for an event and happened to run into her. We traded techniques and experiences. She recently gave me the opportunity to be a model and to learn more studio lighting. The reason I say all of this is because Click Con showed me that I made the best decision 7 years ago. It is more than a photography convention. It is a mobile and growing community of artists who support, uplift, and respect each other. I would definitely recommend it because sometimes being a photographer can make us feel isolated. Here, this felt like a tribe of creatives. Having a mental health component separated Click Con from the other conventions to nurture our human side. The business classes were great, but the inner growth is what is truly needed for us to progress as creatives. Sherry, thank you for your love, craft, and vision for the future. These past 7 years have been a welcoming experience. Click Con was the culmination of it and I am excited and what we all as creatives will do going forward. We all appreciate you.

My experience at clickcon has been outstanding. I live in Michigan and have attended this event twice. Each time it has gotten better. The show is organized and well thought out. The shooting bays... and classes are awesome! The networking I have been able to do because of this show has had a huge impact on my business and I plan on returning in 2023. Leer más

The conference has improved so much, even in just the second year I attended. The instructors, classes and models were fabulous to work with. The creators of the event and instructors for classes real...ly want it to be the best and take into account feedback from all participants! The vendors have also been great! Highly recommend and I will definitely be back next year! Leer más

You learn a lot, meet a lot of different people in the industry, and have the capability to create a lot of portfolio worthy images of all different styles. The overall atmosphere is amazing and I fee...l like we are a second family. Highly recommend attending! Leer más
