Conference Photography at Scale — Precision, Presence and Professionalism
In 2025, I was hired by ACCOR to photograph iMEX, a two-day conference in Las Vegas bringing together luxury hospitality brands and global clients.
This event was fast-paced, brand-sensitive, and highly visible — the kind of environment where experience, professionalism, and composure matter deeply.

Large Conferences Demand Precision and Presence
The iMEX event included:
17,600 attendees
3,700 exhibiting companies
92,000+ total meetings
Photographing a conference like this requires more than technical skill. It requires awareness — of people, brand standards, timing, and tone.

Brand Trust Is Earned Through Professionalism
Working with an international hospitality brand like ACCOR meant:
Adhering to strict brand guidelines
Capturing imagery aligned with luxury positioning
Being mindful of who could and could not be photographed
Understanding the importance of sponsor visibility and client relationships
This level of trust is built through experience — and it’s the same standard I bring to San Diego-based corporate and hospitality events.

The Art of Mingling Without Disrupting
High-level networking events require a photographer who can blend in seamlessly.
At iMEX, this meant:
Moving through conversations without interrupting them
Engaging warmly when appropriate
Stepping back during private discussions
Capturing genuine interactions between clients and representatives
This balance creates images that feel natural, elevated, and authentic — not staged or intrusive.

Calm Leadership in High-Energy Environments
Two-day conferences are intense. Schedules shift. Venues change. Energy runs high.
My role in these environments is to:
Stay composed and adaptable
Communicate clearly with event staff and organizers
Anticipate moments before they unfold
Ensure consistent coverage from start to finish
That calm presence allows clients to focus on their event — knowing photography is handled professionally.
Why This Matters for San Diego Conferences
San Diego companies don’t need to look outside the region to find conference-level experience.
This work reinforces what I bring home:
Confidence working with global brands
Experience photographing executive-level events
Professional etiquette in luxury and corporate settings
Strategic imagery that supports marketing, PR, and future events
While iMEX took place in Las Vegas, the experience continues to elevate how I serve San Diego clients — delivering calm, capable leadership in complex conference environments.
