Event Summary

Elevate ’25 is Colorado’s photography conference for anyone who wants to learn, grow, and connect. Over three days, you’ll find practical workshops, inspiring classes, and a welcoming community. Friday opens with hands-on sessions and our fun ’80s Ski Lodge Party, while Saturday highlights local talent—featuring Colorado’s own Lars Leber teaching how to capture and profit from our state’s incredible landscapes. The evening wraps with our Awards Ceremony, open to all and complete with cake.


Sunday features our Headliner Rachel Owen, an internationally recognized artist who will show how she builds an image from the first spark of an idea to the finished piece. Alongside a variety of other sessions, Elevate ’25 is your chance to meet fellow photographers, sharpen your skills, and be part of Colorado’s creative photography community.
