What’s Happening

Delve into a world of creativity

Create With Us is an opportunity for creators (that’s you!) to create, learn, and network with industry professionals. Join us in the morning to kick off the day with a bit of coffee and get a chance to meet fellow creators who also observe the world in F stops.

Photobays permit you to test out the latest APS-C and large format cameras and lenses—and don’t worry; all brands are welcome. Are you an image or video creator? You’re in!

Learn and create with fellow makers throughout the day, learning from top industry professionals in workshops at Fremont Studios and immersive photowalks around the city. With so much talent under one roof, it’ll be hard not to get inspired.

When your feet get tired, join us for a film screening and get a chance to speak with the folks behind the production to understand their approach and process better.

I loved the event because it finally gave me the opportunity to view the genre-segmented, yet tight-knit community of Fujifilm loyalists in one place. On top of seeing gear and software demos from brands that integrate well with the cameras we know and love, I was able to view projects, hear relevant lectures, and connect with other Fujifilm creatives to forge new relationships. This is important to me, because a connected community is a thriving one! During and after the conference, I felt empowered and motivated to go and create more!

Shotti, NYC, FUJIFILM Creator

In an era where technology is often the focus, this event shined the spotlight back on the voices behind the cameras. Allowing artists to feel seen, heard, and represented – no matter who they are – influences a community’s growth and fosters creativity. From the overall community feel of the event to the individual connections made throughout the galleries, the event was as inspiring as it was fun.

Derek Fahsbender, FUJIFILM Creator

Being at the event was incredibly inspiring. From connecting with other creatives, to being surrounded by people who love Fujifilm as much as I do, and sharing in the excitement of the event, I never wanted it to end.  We are truly a family.

Alison Conklin, FUJIFILM X-Photographer

Attending the event was one of the highlights of my year. I got to learn from some of my biggest idols. I got also to meet fellow photographers I had only gotten to know before on Zoom. And I got to experience all that Fujifilm has to offer in one big room. I will make these events a priority from now on.

Ben Chrisman, FUJIFILM Creator

This event was absolutely amazing! It was the perfect opportunity for me to connect with the Fujifilm family, as well as other photographers and visual artists in our creative community. I loved how interactive it was with all the hands-on workshops, photo walks, and demonstrations that were provided to the public, 100% free. The presentations were incredibly inspiring and I was able to exhibit large format prints of my work for the first time, which was truly an honor. Overall, it was an experience I will never forget!

Lanna Apisukh, FUJIFILM Creator

I was absolutely blown away by the way this event united the Fujifilm community and gave us a physical HQ for a day. Every creative in the room, from the most recognized to people in the first steps of their journey as image makers, were on the same level – unified by an experience we could all get excited about.

Miles Witt Boyer, FUJIFILM X-Photographer

The event was more than a creative experience. I had the chance to meet so many incredible people who love the same things I do, including Fujifilm’s incredible cameras. Being immersed in that environment has impacted me greatly, both creatively and personally. I’m looking forward to attending the next event.

Giulio Meliani, FUJIFILM Creator
