ASMP PhotoBuzz, 2/25 6-9pm at 57 Degrees, San Diego

Hello Members & Friends! As we enter the 2016 term of our Chapter, we are excited to announce the re-launch of an old ASMP San Diego favorite, PhotoBuzz!! This event is a tri-annual social gathering, where members, sponsors & prospects come together to discuss current & hot topics in the photography industry. It is a chance to learn, connect and expand our community in a low pressure, open conversation environment. And of course drinks & light fair will be available!
Since we have a virtually blank canvas and lots of ideas floating, the focus of the first 2016 PhotoBuzz will be ‘Ideas & Planning for a New Year!’ We want to hear from you on what you’d like ASMP-SD to bring to the table. So come out and help us fill the calendar!

AND as a bonus, we will have a headshot set-up, ready to capture your best 2016 smile, free of charge! This is our New Year gift to you, for use on websites, social media, profiles, etc! So please dress accordingly (chest up)!

Event will be held @ 57 Degrees (1735 Handcock St; parking lot in back!) on Thursday February 25th, from 6-9pm. See you there!!

-Advance price: $10 – Members/Students/APA & PPSDC, $15 – General Public
-At the door: +$5(additional)
