First cities for meet-ups set - Will you be there?
The first cities for our meet-ups in 2025 celebrating our 25th anniversary have been scheduled. The event will be a combined half-day learning in a class-room setting followed by the afternoon being out shooting together while having a good time. The detailed agenda is still being worked on and will be announced as soon as ready. Please help us by filling out the interest surveys.
We want as many as possible to be able to join the meet-ups, celebrating the community and friendship. The anticipated participation fee, to cover the cost for the room we'll rent and snacks provided, will be as low as possible, in the neighborhood of 50-80 USD/CAD/EUR/GBP per person and anyone can participate, no matter membership level.
A valid Nikonians membership is required and once the agenda has been set, all who have participated in the interest survey will receive an invitation link to the meet up. We are working strictly on a first-come-first serve basis.
If you potentially will participate at one (or several) of the meet-ups, please fill out our short survey (link below, opens a Google form in a new window) for each location and let us know including what you shoot and want to learn. Please fill out as soon as feasible since this helps us plan the event.
