This wouldn't be a way for a bunch of wedding photographers to make a quick buck during slow season would it?
Seems a little pricey considering....

jacluckygirl says:

This conference is intended for people who want to learn more about the field of photography, from people who know what they are doing. It is primarily geared toward photography enthusiasts, hobbyists and those considering getting into the profession.

It's a chance for people to learn from multiple professionals instead of just one, which makes for a much more exciting, well rounded workshop.

The conference is being held at Humber College, includes lunch and education from eight different photographers. I honestly feel this is a great deal.
