Real Women. Real Struggle. Real Success. Real Life.

This conference is designed to help female photographers find a way to connect more meaningfully with their work. For 3 days we will encourage you to step away from your online persona, and really take the time to be present at the event, connect with each other, and the content being presented. The Real Life conference will dig deeper than the day to day of running a business or learning how to operate a camera.

We're thrilled to present this content through a wide range of photographers from all over the world. The speakers are from different genres and will be sharing a wide range of perspectives that you can apply to your own lives.

Remind me, WHEN is the Real Life conference?

Tuesday, November 15th - Thursday, 17th, 2016. Have a peek at what we're going to do for 3 days together!

And I get to go to WHERE ??

Thats right, the Canadian Rockies. Learn more about the host mountain town, Canmore.

“The spectacular wilderness of the Canadian Rockies is filled with glacial lakes, silent forests and the occasional grizzly bear. Unlike the Rocky Mountains, which rise from a plateau some 5,000ft-8,000ft high, Alberta’s Front Range shoot up from something much closer to sea level. The mountains rear straight up to the sky from the flat brown ocean of the prairie, overwhelmingly huge and majestic. The effect is startling.”

WHY should I attend?

You are a female photographer who wants to find a deeper connection to your work.
You feel like you haven't exactly found the purpose for your work.
You feel like you've been banging your head against a wall and really need some help getting unstuck.
Conferences kind of make you feel nervous because you don't know anyone & you have no idea what kind of outfit you should wear (don't worry, we all wear padded biking shorts in Canmore).
You have always wanted to visit the Canadian Rockies and wake up to fresh snowfall on the peaks outside your window ( no promises, but there's a good chance!).
You have been craving real, authentic connection with people who understand your perspective and people who can offer totally fresh perspectives.
You want to listen to storytellers from a wide breadth of photography genres with varied experiences to help you view your work from different perspectives.
You are:
- 1) Canadian and excited that you can pay for a conference in Canadian Dollars OR
- 2) Not Canadian and excited that the Canadian Dollar is low and you'll save on the conference fees!
