Aftershoot
GOLD SPONSOR
Aftershoot is the fastest and easiest way for photographers to select, rate and edit their photos.
Many photographers take thousands of photos in a day’s work. Selecting photos one-by-one to find the best ones from the set and then manually editing each and every one of them is usually the most monotonous, tedious and time-consuming part of the workflow and can take days if not weeks to complete.
Thanks to its leading AI tech, Aftershoot saves photographers hundreds of hours by automating the image selection and image editing, keeping in mind the photographer’s personal style and taste. With Aftershoot, photographers get spare time to focus on what really matters - engaging with clients, building portfolios and recharging away from the computer.
In a nutshell
Transformational AI Powerer Photo Selection & Editing for Photographers

Seldex Artistic Albums
OFF-SITE SILVER SPONSOR
With over 60 years in the industry, you could say we have some experience! Our company dates back to 1950 and we’ve seen a lot of changes in the industry since the early years. Our longevity hinges on our ability to offer innovative products that continue to evolve as time marches on and the fact our products are made to the highest quality that will last the test of time.
Many people tend to think of print as a dying medium, and who can blame them considering the massive advancements in technology over the years? Seems like the right way to go, right? We disagree. Print is an unmatchable experience, a physical product that’s been a crucial part of our lives for years and one that needs to continue. Whether it be weddings, family portraits, newborn shoots or pets - these are all moments in time that should not only be captured but immortalised in print.
Our mission is to help photographers grow their business and we do that by providing handmade custom photographic presentation products, products not available to the general public, as we wholesale directly to professional photographers only.

ShopMom2B
ShopMom2B was inspired and created with expecting Moms in mind. Our vision came about, when our owner was a radiant expecting mother herself. She wanted this moment in time to be remembered, when preparing for her very own maternity photoshoot. She found that it was a daunting task trying to find a gown, let alone one that fit. There was also the nightmare of spending hundreds of dollars on a gown she would only wear once. Then the light bulb went off, why not provide a service where women of all shapes, sizes and stages of pregnancy could rent a beautiful gown that was sure to fit and would be a fraction of the cost. With that said, we decided to present this great opportunity to all of the beautiful Moms to be (Mom2B).
