Photoshop World Boston 2009
March 19, 2009 by Robert Louis Vanelli
Filed under News and Events
Photoshop World is hosted by the National Association of Photoshop Professionals; better known as NAPP. This unbelievable conference is held twice a year. Once on the East Coast and once on the West Coast. The event usually takes place in March and September.I’ve had a great opportunity to attend this event twice a year since it started in 2001.
People ask me if I still attend the classes. The answer: YES, as many as I can! I love hearing not just what they are teaching, but how they teach it.
My advice, take a partner with you. Split the classes up and then meet back and review what each of you has learned. PSW makes it easy by giving all the classes in a thick telephone book. Leave the book in the hotel room and just take a note pad and class evaluation forms (found in the book) with you. Each and every evaluation form is read by a NAPP staff member. Our feed back is discussed and NAPP takes the advice very serious.
People ask; “What classes does Vanelli take?” Here is my itinerary.

Absolutely and positively…The best experience that I’ve ever had at any Photographic Conference that I’ve attended in 35 years!
From start to finish…it was well worth it!
The reception that I received right from the start at the registration desk, the kickoff event, the innumerable fact filled workshops from well respected authorities in each field, the trade show with wonderful vendors and the great discounts, the parties, the musicians, the food, the booze, the constant networking, the incredible workbook that’s like a phone book wit everything, the inspirational lectures and photos, the grand finale and so much more…
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO!!!
I can’t wait for Las Vegas!
