Find Upcoming Photography Conferences in the Pacific Northwest

Here are some upcoming photography conferences and events in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region for 2026 and beyond. The PNW (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, etc.) doesn't have a massive number of large-scale national conferences, but there are targeted, community-focused gatherings that stand out for local photographers.
 
The standout event to attend in the PNW is Photo Palooza PNW 2026 — it's specifically designed for the region and offers a dynamic, inspiring experience tailored to both amateur and professional photographers.
 
Why Photo Palooza PNW Stands Out
  • It's held right in the Pacific Northwest, making it accessible without major travel.
  • Focuses on unlocking your full creative potential with world-class educators providing personalized feedback.
  • Emphasizes hands-on learning, vibrant networking, and growth from wherever you are in your photography journey.
  • The theme "From Vision to Victory: Crafting Iconic Content" highlights practical, empowering sessions to help you stand out in the creative world.
  • It's built around you — the passionate photographer — with a welcoming vibe for all levels.

Other notable photography-related events or conferences that might interest PNW photographers (though many are virtual or outside the immediate region):
  • Larger national conferences like WPPI (Las Vegas), Imaging USA (Nashville), or others draw PNW attendees, but they're not local.
If you're looking for something hyper-local and PNW-centric, Photo Palooza PNW is the one to prioritize — it's got that perfect mix of education, inspiration, and community right in your backyard.
