Leadership Summit
SPOA's annual Leadership Summit is when the association's board members meet in person to chart SPOA's course for the year ahead. This year will include a few meetings open to others besides the board members: a summit on AI in the industry, an interest meeting for SPOA's sister charitable foundation The American Foundation for School Photography & Yearbooks, and a gathering for Canadian studios interested in SPOA's mission.

Industry AI Summit

Come gather with leaders in the industry to collaborate on the impact AI technology has on our industry. We will be discussing potential negative impacts, as well as potentially building an AI committee within SPOA to construct new guidelines and standards to protect students, our tradition and schools. Be a part of a committee that will help steer the future of our industry.
This will be a round table discussion with a small group of leaders and members. Anyone is invited.
