It’s targeted to photographers and design students, as well as hobbyists. During the final two days of the Expo, Photoshop World opens the show floor to the public to give them an all-access pass to the photography and Photoshop-related products on the market.

In addition, NAPP and Kelby Training offer free bonus classes during regular expo hours taught by industry experts. Titles of these hour-long classes include: Digital Photographer’s Notebook, Designing with 3D, Hollywood Movie Posters, Building a Successful Portfolio, and Contrast, Details & Color Manipulations.

These bonus classes will be open to the general public on the final two days of the expo starting on Thursday, Sept. 2, from 1-5 pm, and on Friday, Sept. 3 from 9 am to 1 pm. The Expo will be held in the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino South Convention Center, Bayside B in Las Vegas.
