Photographer

Are You Fully
Protected?
with Victor S. Pearman, Esq.
A copyright protects creative works -- photographs,
articles, scripts, graphic art, computer programs,
or websites. However, many professionals aren’t
doing what they must to fully protect their work and
their rights under the law. Did you know you can’t
file a lawsuit for copyright infringement unless
your work has been registered with the copyright
office? If you didn’t, or you don’t know how to
properly register your work, put this session on
your conference schedule. Learn how a copyright
really works, what it covers and how to properly
copyright your works.
Podcasting
with
Tom Parrish
(Corporate Partner focus, but open to all members)
-- Podcasting is the new-age vehicle for
outdoors professionals to capture a massive,
far-reaching, and often younger audience. This
session focuses on the definition and history of
podcasting, the mechanics behind the mania and
potential benefits for those who adopt podcasting as
a method of education, marketing and branding.
