Imaging USA - PPA 2027 starts on January 31, 2027.

The organizer describes a community of over 10,000 photographers.

The 2027 event is held in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The organizer identifies photographers, including professional photographers, as attendees.

It suits working professional photographers, especially portrait and wedding studio owners, who want hands-on classes and a chance to handle gear from sponsors such as Canon U.S.A., Capture One, Aftershoot and Adorama in one place, with sessions led by industry speakers like Jeff Carpenter and Jeremy Saffer. Hobbyists and photographers outside the PPA community will get less from it, since the event is run by Professional Photographers of America and the sponsor list is weighted toward cameras, albums, backdrops and editing software aimed at paying studios.

Photographers at a trade convention like this usually wear smart casual or casual-professional clothing, often dark neutral tops, and comfortable shoes for long days of classes and walking the exhibit floor in Charlotte.
