Apple, Photoshelter, HP and other industry leaders have announce a series of town hall meetings called Photography 2.0. The meeting is designed to bring together photographers and media buyers as well as those who aid both.

We designed the format of Photography 2.0 based on extended conversations with photo buyers and photographers of all types. The symposium is just one of several efforts we will unveil over the course of the next few months to help photographers and image buyers establish a new way of conducting business over the Web, said Allen Murabayashi, CEO of PhotoShelter. The entire PhotoShelter team is eagerly awaiting Photography 2.0 and we look forward to a robust crowd dialogue in all of these cities.

Attendance is free but registration is encouraged due to limited space.
