B&H Imaging on the Verge Wednesday, October 24 Workshops: 3:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
The second annual Imaging on the Verge (IOV) gathering is an exploration, a learning event, and a place for lively debates about current philosophies and the future of teaching and photography. It will also be an opportunity for educators to do what we ask of
our students: to safely challenge each other during discussions about what photography, imaging and education should be in the 21st Century.
Topics of discussion include Video for Photography Programs: Incorporating Visual Communication in Modern Photography Curricula, Preparing Successful and Employable College Graduates, and Higher Education Photo Programs: Key Points to the Admissions Process.
Imaging on the Verge will take place in Hall 1-B at the Jacob
Javits Center and will be followed by a cocktail party. Registration is free to all educators.
