United is the best conference for photographers, creatives, and human beings.

I can tell you that United is THE BEST CONFERENCE the world has ever seen. But why would you believe me? I mean, I work for Showit for Pete's sake. Obviously I am biased, though also 100% honest. But for the record, it is very hard to beat an action-packed conference in the winter, in sunny Arizona, with industry leaders (Jasmine Star, Katelyn James, Natalie Franke, and more!), and the kindest, most sincere attendees! Not to mention, there was line dancing, karaoke night, and a gala on Election Night! To see the conference in pictures, check our wonderful Showiteer, and volunteer photographer, Cassia Karin‘s, PASS gallery!

But if you need more than just beautiful pictures to get an idea of what United is like, I hope you enjoy reading these two blog posts. They are both heartfelt and heartwarming. They are also full of completely unbiased opinions – beautiful pictures included:
