Celebrate 50 Years as the Professional’s Source at B&H's Bild Expo, September 6-7

Save the Date! B&H will be celebrating its 50th anniversary, September 6-7, at the Bild Expo in the Javits Center, in Manhattan, just two avenues over from the B&H Photo SuperStore. Bild, the Yiddish word for “image,” was chosen to reflect B&H’s history of helping bring creative visions to life across the media landscape. The two-day event will offer something for every type of creator: inspiring presentations from the best of the best across creative industries, hands-on learning opportunities, a massive gear expo, photo walks around New York City, and portfolio reviews with some of the best eyes in the photo world.

Speakers for Days

If you’ve attended any of B&H’s conferences in the past, you know the level of talent on stage is unmatched. Now imagine who will show up for its 50th birthday! Whether you are seeking fresh inspiration, business tips, or new skills, there will be no shortage of knowledgeable voices at the Bild Expo.

In addition to a Main Stage for headlining speakers, three “focus” stages will center upon specific types of creators. The OPTIC Stage will bring together outdoor, travel, wildlife, conservation, and fine art photographers. The Depth of Field Stage will focus on portrait, fashion, wedding, and commercial photography. Finally, the Creative Production Stage will serve as home base for filmmakers, video creators, and editors.

The speaker list grows daily, consisting of a blend of first-time and veteran presenters, including Flo Ngala, Scott Kelby, Sade Ndya, Art Wolfe, Chris Kentis, Daphne Le, Justin Odisho, and Kenneth Hines Jr., to name a few.
