Location & Accommodation

Moab, Utah

Moab is the gateway to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah. The Conference will take place at Springhill Suites by Marriott next to the Colorado River, an all-suite hotel that is set-up as a perfect basecamp for photographers with first-class conference facilities and accommodation. The surrounding location provides stunning views and opportunities for you to explore and capture what inspires you any time of the day, with downtown Moab and the entrance to Arches National Park both less than five minutes away. We are excited to return to Moab to learn, play and be inspired. 

All permits have been obtained for our group to experience and photograph the Parks.
