When the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) brought their annual conference to Philadelphia this March, Scott Spitzer Photography was there to document three intensive days of professional development, networking, and innovation in science education. Our photographers alternated coverage across the event days, ensuring comprehensive documentation while managing the complex schedule that marketing managers and event planners face with large-scale conferences.
Multi-Venue, Multi-Day Expertise
Spanning three days across the Pennsylvania Convention Center and Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, the conference featured everything from intimate professional learning institutes to major keynote presentations with thousands of attendees. Our team navigated small workshop sessions, bustling expo halls, networking events like the opening reception, and high-energy moments like the ribbon cutting ceremony.
Each setting required different technical approaches, from low-light capabilities for indoor sessions to crowd management skills during packed presentations.
Real-Time Marketing Value
Today’s event marketing demands immediate content for social media engagement. Our rapid turnaround “teasers” allowed NSTA’s marketing team to share compelling visuals while the conference was happening, maximizing engagement when attendee interest peaked. Real-time image downloading meant key moments could be shared across social platforms within hours, not days.
We focused on capturing authentic moments that matter most to organizational goals: educators engaging with new materials during OpenSciEd sessions, attendees networking during share-a-thons, and first-time conference participants discovering new teaching strategies.
Strategic Investment
Whether you’re managing a three-day conference or planning a single-day trade show, professional event photography is an investment. The images become valuable assets for promoting future events, demonstrating organizational impact, and providing year-round content.
