On behalf of the board of directors I am pleased and excited to announce
"Tucson 2010" - The International Panoramic Photography Conference.
It will be held in Tucson, Arizona, April 14-18, 2010, presented jointly by the IVRPA and the IAPP (International VR Photography Association and International Association of Panoramic Photographers).
We hope to make this the best and biggest conference ever, bringing together everyone interested in any form of panoramic photography.

Juergen,
I've been doing panorama for some years now and visiting Panoguide almost daily - and other panorama sites less frequently - and yet it's the first time I've come across the organizations, IVRPA and IAPP. Since there are proabably many others on this forum who like me were until now unaware of these associations, but keen to know more, perhaps you could introduce them in a bit more detail. For instance their aims, profit/non-profit, current membership, how members are selected, when established and so on.

Do you never visit other websites. Do you never read what other photographers say about them.
I find it unbelieveable that you have not sen a site with an IVRPA logo or that you have not got the site in some search.
Just check this forum and there are 6 posts during the last year and 26 in all.
Hans

Yes, sure. But I can only speak for the IVRPA as I do have no personal experience with the IAPP
Our association was established by photographers in 1998 and is entirely run by volunteering directors and officers. We are open to everybody who wants to support our efforts to educate and represent the manifold aspects of panoramic photography.
To get a better idea of what this association is all about you are kindly invited to have a look at our website at www.ivrpa.org
Also if you have further questions you are highly encouraged to contact me or any other of the directors via mail or the forum on our website.
Oh, and those who have met him in person may give me a second when I assure you that even our well known Danish member isn't always as repellent as he sometimes seems to be

So far we have 4 representatives of Nodal Ninja that will be in attendance, 2 flying in from Europe and hoping more will follow. Between the many classes and scheduled speakers there will be plenty time to meet and network with others.
For those without pano heads we will also be providing free use of our pano heads during the conference. Should you decide to purchase one of our products attractive discounts will be offered to all attendees.
Nick of Fanotec (manufacturer and developer of Nodal Ninja's) has been doing more R&D and we have timed the public unveiling of the next product to coincide with this conference - sorry no clues.
We are glad the event was chosen to be in our home state. The Arizona Desert comes to life in the Spring with more colors than a painter's wheel and the temps should be nice and warm. This winter has seen some of the heaviest rains in 2 decades which usually adds more wow factor in the Springtime. There will be "plenty" to see and do and even though the event is only 4-5 days long it will not be enough time to get it all in. Those traveling from afar really should try to plan a few extras days and consider visits to Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Even the coastal resort town of Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point) in Mexico is only a few hours drive.
With the two organizations teaming up like this the venue will be talked about for years to follow.
We hope to see you there.
Cheers
Bill
ps - the conference is open to non-members as well.

Hurry up now ...
The International Panoramic Photography Conference is only three weeks away!
We have negotiated with Hilton Hotels to extend their special discount pricing until Friday, March 26. Make a reservation through their website and get a room for $75 single or double. It's a real bargain.
We have also extended early-bird pricing for the full conference until Sunday March 28 - register by then and receive $50 off the regular price.
It is going to be an amazing conference. Make your plans now and save on both the hotel and the conference itself.

Don't worry...Aaron Spence will have a few hundred panoramas from there shot, processed and online before most of us get our tripods set up. At his speed and efficiency he might be a Terminator (Cyberdyne Systems Observer Model D700) sent from the future to photograph the world in 360° for Skynet.

Hehe, I'll be doing my best, as any good Terminator should. But from what I understand the only way to visit the graveyard is on a tour, which doesn't allow people to walk around. Perhaps some of us can hang pole pano rigs out the window
I understand the rational, there are a bazillion $$ worth of planes sitting around, in various states of repair, most of which are filled with all sorts of exotic and dangerous substances. Not exactly the place to let the public run wild.
Sorry to bust any balloons... or blimps
I do plan to shoot a hell of a lot of the museum though with its huge array of aircraft.

Hey Aaron.
Eric (fromparis.com) did a Quicktime movie called: create a full Quicktime VR 360-180° in 10 minutes".
You might consider doing one called:'create a 10 full Quicktime VR's 360-180° in 1 minute".
Seriously though your work is so finely tuned the speed from front to end is amazing. And what attendee could forget your ABQ work? Never saw so many jaws drop to the floor at one time. This conference too I'm sure will also showcase some very interesting stuff.
The desert around here is just now beginning to bloom and will continue to do so with various plants and cactus well into June and beyond. One of the first is the Octopus Agave - the flower stock can grow to 25+ ft.

Hi all,
I will be attending the Tucson 2010 conference, and will have a limited number of early release copies of my new book on Virtual Reality Photography available there.
For more info, see: www.vrphotography.com/bookpromo.html
These are always great conferences. I highly recommend attending if you can.

Hehe thanks Bill.
I've seen Eric's movie before and it's great. I'd probably need to call mine how to do 20 panos in an hour
The value of a batching system only comes into play when you start doing a volume of work. For one pano it's only marginally faster.
I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone and shooting a lot of flowering desert.
Thanks, Aaron.
