A ShootFest is an unconference for photographers and videographers.

An unconference is a facilitated, participant-driven conference centered around a theme or purpose. The term “unconference” has been applied, or self-applied, to a wide range of gatherings that try to avoid one or more aspects of a conventional conference, such as high fees and sponsored presentations.

The main objectives for ShootFests are to encourage networking, knowledge sharing, education and cameraderie (this has nothing to do with cameras, media people. It means a spirit of friendly good-fellowship). The first ever ShootFest will be held in June 2009, and the theme is “The Wedding”.
