ABOUT THE NE SPE REGIONAL CONFERENCE
SPE's Northeast Regional conference commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the 1962 Teacher's Conference that led to the founding of SPE. The field looks very different today after the photo boom of the 1970s and the multitude of images coming out of the digital revolution. The 2012 conference will look back at the 1962 event, how the field has expanded since then, and what it will look like in the future by presenting the perspectives of photographers, curators, historians, archivists, and publishers who have found unique ways of expanding the field of photography as well as managing the overabundance of images in the world. Conference events will include lectures, panel discussions, portfolio reviews, and multiple exhibitions.
