+ Do I have to worry about choosing which speaker’s class I’ll attend?
We put a lot of thought into this and have planned accordingly. In our general session, only one speaker will be presenting at a time. This way, no one has to pick and choose between any great speakers or topics, and you will be able to hear from each one of the guest speakers. We do have various Breakout Sessions which are included with your registration to hone in on whatever aspect of your business you'd like to specialize on and yes, for Breakouts you will need to choose. Master Classes and Editorial Shoots will be available for an additional fee. During the Breakout Sessions and Master Classes, various speakers will be presenting at those times. Be sure to consult the schedule to choose your classes. Seats are limited, so the sooner you act, the better.
+ If I’m new to photography and shooting hybrid, should I still attend?
Of course! What a great opportunity to learn from some of the top names in the industry so early on in your career. And with the Master Classes every day, there are additional opportunities for even more in-depth instruction.
+ Is this only for wedding photographers?
Nope! Anyone using a camera to document what’s important to them will benefit from joining us at The Hybrid Co.
+ When will Editorial Shoots and Master Classes be announced?
Registration for these shoots will begin July 1st 2025!
+ Can I attend more than one Master Class or Editorial Shoot?
Of course! We have intentionally setup the schedule to allow for Masterclasses and Editorial Shoots to be repeated to fit into your schedule. Each styled shoot will have four stations for you to photograph in groups of 10 ensuring you have plenty of time to add to your portfolio!
+ Do I have to attend a Master Class?
Not at all. They are just another chance to learn from and interact with this year’s instructors and hone in on your craft.
+ Are meals included in my registration?
Lunches are included Monday - Wednesday.

Attendees are responsible for their own transportation and lodging. Our South Carolina Conference will be taking place at a center that will host us but does not have room options like a resort. We will be offering accommodation recommendations.
