It is an exciting time for image makers as The Photography & Video Show 2024 is fast approaching, from March 16-19 at the NEC in Birmingham, England.

is Europe's biggest event dedicated to inspiring photographers, filmmakers and editors. Whether you are an absolute beginner or a working professional, the show offers something for everyone. All the major camera manufacturers will be attending, providing a chance to test out all the best mirrorless cameras, the latest lighting kits and photo printers, the best camera bags and cases, not to mention some of the best film cameras for analog lovers.

In addition to being an exceptional photographer and speaker, Sean Tucker hosts a popular YouTube channel, now subscribed to by 550K creatives, and has written and published a book sharing his philosophy for the creative life titled The Meaning in the Making. Sean will be talking about his recent publication in a talk by the same name, as well as holding a discussion with fellow YouTube creator Tom Heaton on their experiences teaching photography on YouTube.

A Sony creator, Alice has an exceptional talent for video and has a passion for short-form video for social media. She will be giving a talk which will provide a detailed look at a recent commercial video shoot with a clothing brand. It's not often you get to see firsthand the creation of a commissioned brief by a leading industry professional, so this is a must-see! Alice will also be among the speakers for the Women in Film Business talk, which will highlight their experiences in the industry and generate further discussion.

Peter Dench will hold a talk titled Working in Editorial Photography, an area of great interest to me personally. During the talk, Dench delivers his top tips for generating editorial story ideas, income advice and successfully pitching to potential clients. Dench recently shot with the great Don McCullen for The Sunday Times, in a feature that celebrated his photojournalism – a great example of his advice in action.

Victoria is the founder of Featured, a London-based production company specializing in video content for national female-focused brands. Ten years of journalism and video experience have seen her work with some of the country's top brands and celebrities. As well as speaking at the Women in Film Business talk, Hutton will be giving a talk titled 'So you can shoot video, now what?' focused on securing your dream clients. This is an important part of working in the creative industry that many fall short on – I for one did. Getting dissemination advice from someone at the top of their field will be a treasure trove of tips and tricks – one not to miss!
