3 DAYS OF LEARNING
**NEW DAILY RATE**
Luminate 2021 is Oregon’s premiere education and competition event! This year, the programming will span over 3 days and registration is open to everyone. Sessions will be offered over Zoom. Centered around the our Annual Open Image Competition we will be joined by many nationally-recognized experts to help you raise the bar on both your craft and business. Each session will be about 2 hours. For more detailed information on sessions, please click on the speakers headshot.
PPA’s Board of Directors & Council have temporarily allowed us to merit virtual events. The attendee requirements are as follows:
- Attendees must attend the virtual event via the live stream of the event-no merits can be given to attendees who watch a recording of the event
- Attendees must attend 6.5 hours of education or more in order to be eligible for their merit. If the event is a State Annual Convention/Conference/Meeting, this 6.5 hours can be split up between 2-3 consecutive days
Luminate will be offered ONLINE ONLY in 2021.
