“The SYNC Lounge roundtable is one of those places where real honest conversations happen. As someone who’s been in this industry for years, I still walked away with fresh business insights and a reminder that I’m not figuring this out alone. The energy in the room was amazing. Photographers from all stages of their career sitting at tables, learning, supporting and inspiring! If you’re a photographer at any stage, SYNC belongs on your calendar.”

"We’ve been attending SYNC for eight years now, and every single time we leave feeling re-energized and inspired about running our photography business. But this year (2026) was extraordinary. SYNC has always led the way in teaching photographers how to thrive as business owners, not just artists, and now they’re taking that leadership to a new level by diving deep into the world of AI. I can’t shout loudly enough about how truly life-changing this event continues to be for us. SYNC gives us knowledge, confidence, and community — everything we need to future-proof our studio.

“SYNC continues to lead our industry by pushing boundaries, embracing innovation, and constantly evolving how photographers learn, connect, and grow. Darty and Michele have a rare gift for not only spotting where the industry is headed, but for reinventing the conference experience so it stays fresh, relevant, and genuinely valuable.”
