Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed my time at the show.
I only attended the trade show, but I found it to be extremely useful; full of a brilliant
variety of exhibitors.
How do I become a member of the SWPP.I probably missed a special offer at the show!?
Yours sincerely
Jeremy
Dear Phil,
I attended the 2007 SWPP convention on Sat and Sun for the first time and really learned a lot in the two days, with many tips that I can use. The master classes that I attended were all well presented. So many thanks to yourself and everyone involved with the event, it was very worthwhile.

Dear Patricia
Just a few words to express how much I enjoyed the company of your stuff. Edyta, Marianna,
Nicky, Patrick, and Lindi they are beautiful people inside out and please tell them I love
them all. They actually helped me without knowing through a very difficult time I am going
through, Your influence is so evident in each and everyone of them.
Thank God for people like you.
So I'm sending two picture the lady took of us - I will treasure them for the rest of my life.
Please remember me when you're happy and ask for my number when sorrow gets in your path.
Warmest Regards
Albert
Hi Phil,
Thanks for this Show Newsletter and the links. The show was really an exhilerating experience
and jam packed with ideas from all the speakers I heard. I can't wait for the 2008 Show,
although I bet you can at the moment! Thank you and the team for a really enjoyable and
thought provoking few days. I know that my wedding photography will see a big improvement over
my last year's work as a result of this show and it's inspirational speakers.
You'll be pleased to hear that I joined the SWPP at the Show; that's how impressed I was with
the event and the enthusiasm and professionalism you and the team and speakers exhibited.
So, a big thank you.
Best wishes,
Ed
Dear Phil & Juliet,
Thanks for all the effort you & your team put into the convention - it was tremendous! For
someone who's only been in business for a year, I was inspired & educated by the masterclass
speakers, helped & greatly encouraged by a mentor-me assessment, and I enjoyed catching up
with colleagues & suppliers. I hope you've all recovered.
My suggestion for an improvement would be to get more detail into the descriptions of the
masterclass talks that go into the convention guide. Until you know who the best speakers are,
its very difficult to decide which talk to go to when there are a few running in parallel. I
tried to read between the lines of the descriptions, but it was tricky.
Cheers Laurence
Dear Phil

Hello all,
Just a few lines to say how much I enjoyed the SWPP Convention last weekend in London.
Unfortunately I was unable to attend for the full day seminars but was with you from Friday to
Sunday, making the most of the masterclasses and trade show.
A couple of the overseas speakers were just excellent and from the UK, I really enjoyed
listening to Peter Prior - it was really good to listen to a speaker who produces beautiful
images whilst working with the UK weather and all that it throws at us! A really good
practical two hour masterclass.
Looking forward to joining you again in 2008!
Dear All
Following SWPP Catherine has received some really wonderful feedback from various people who attended her seminar. We thought you would be keen to read some of these comments, it seems to have had a truly positive effect on those who attended
Hi Catherine
Thanks for another inspirational talk yesterday (I assume that late arriver was not a put up job).
You might like to know that I went home and actually READ my latest copy of Junior and, well, wow - my head is now full of extra insight and marketing ideas.
Brilliant. Thanks.
Best wishes

Dear Catherine,
Just a quick thank you for another inspiring and motivating presentation at the SWPP. I’ve not long returned from London after attending Jerry Ghonis’s superb one day seminar but wanted to thank you before retiring (to bed that is – I’m not that old!). For all of the seminars, as an attendee I’m looking for what I term “golden nuggets”, gems of information that I can utilise now whether they be technical or marketing based. Few seminars this weekend had me nodding off or thinking of that next cup of tea yet there was a bag full of nuggets to take away from your seminar and a few big boots up the rear end to action things. I think to achieve the 130 % I’m going to have to leave SEPA this year, that is now more than crystal clear to me!.
Best wishes

Hi Catherine & Jane,
Thank you, once again, for the seminar on Sunday afternoon, I felt completely inspired and confident that we can grow our business even more - especially with everything that we picked up from the award winning photographers, whose seminars we attended.
I will definitely be calling you to discuss which of your courses will be most useful for me to attend, when we get back from our hols in March
Thank you very much, we look forward to speaking and seeing you soon.
Regards
Sacha
Dear Catherine,
The seminar on Sunday was absolutely brilliant and certainly gave me a multitude of new ideas and avenues to go down - two hours flew by – I didn't miss a word! I have looked at my notes! .
and January is looking up already! You mentioned an e-mail with more business details and ideas - I shall be very grateful if you will send it to me.
With again more and more thanks for being you really - the lecture was totally captivating and I left feeling sooo much taller!
Love, Rosie

Hi Phil & Julie
Just to say a big thanks to you and you amazing team.
I thought the business school was superb and the seminars were great.
I would especialy like to thank Patrcia
for her uplifting way of getting people motivated with here warm words
of encouragement and interaction. To me her seminar realy stood out and
I for one would like to see her at next years event. Gerry. Well what
can I say "What a guy". Mark Laurie was on top form as usual and the
dynamic Yurbury duo were brilliant. I felt the hole event was first
class throughout, although I did feel a sense of sadness that Monty was
missing. I was so sad to hear of his illness. I became quite friendly
with him after attending his seminars here in england. While I was at
the convention in Vegas I heared someone call my name and could not
believe it when I turned around and it was Monty. He had actualy
remembered me. Later in the week he took a picture of my wife and I at
the Canon stage show and when we picked up the print next day he had
signed it. Wow! I would like to wish him well and if you do get to read
this personaly please! please! pass on my best wishes to him.
Many thanks again
Pete
Hi Phil & Juliet,
Hi Phil
A note to say thankyou for the opportunity to be one of the speakers at the 2007
convention.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time and seeing as many other photographers as I could.
Your army of helpers did a wonderful job as did yourselves.
I look forward to visiting the 2008 convention.
Regards
Gerry
Many thanks for the picture.
I am still in shock after winning the award. The entries in the landscape
category were absolutely fantastic and I honestly thought I would never had been
in with a chance.
It was an amazing experience just to be in the same room as the likes of Jim
Moreland (one of my biggest inspirations since I started photography) Winning
the award has already had a massive effect on my business.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the convention, we have been regular attendees
over the years and it goes from strength to strength every year, I cannot thank
you enough for everything you have done and continue to do for the industry as a
whole.
Many Thanks
Simon
With the dust finally settled, you must be very proud of your accomplishment! What a GREAT show in London. Both Ben and I were honored to be the stand in for Monte and we feel fortunate to have been a part of something so fantastic.
My best,
