Each year 16,000 photographers gather in Las Vegas for the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) convention. WPPI is an organization that serves the educational and business needs of wedding and portrait photographers and organizes some of the world's largest photography trade shows.
Squarespace will be joining the event on February 20-23rd, providing a wealth of tools and tips for photographers to complete their professional setup. Here's everything you need to know about Squarespace at WPPI 2012:
The Exhibit
Our exhibit at booth #1665 will be hard to miss, but here's the marked floor plan. Some things you can look forward to if you stop by:

- Giveaways. T-shirts, GorillaPods, and more...
