Win A Free Ticket to One Of My Fall 2014 Lightroom Seminars
Edit: The Free Tickets have been given away. Here’s the winners:
Matthew Jackson – San Antonio
Jennifer – Colorado Springs
Trisha – Livonia
Brendan Reilly – Philadelphia
Okay, my fall 2014 schedule is locked in for my Lightroom seminar tour and I figured I’d announce the dates and give away a free ticket to each city. If you’ve never attended the seminar before, it’s basically a 1-day Lightroom crash course. Here’s a quote from one of the attendees from last year:
“Matt is absolutely the best instructor in the world, and his Lightroom seminar is the most amazing seminar you’ll ever attend”
– Matt’s Mom (true story, she attended my Ft. Lauderdale seminar last year) 😉
The day consists of 5 one-hour-ish classes with breaks in between. It starts off with the first class on organizing and importing your photos in to Lightroom. It’s such a crucial part of Lightroom, and with my new way of teaching the importing process, I’ve had people come up after the first hour and tell me they got their money’s worth already.
After that we jump in to the Develop module and editing. I’ve got some great tips and tricks for you on which settings work best (and which ones you can probably skip). From there we talk about when you need to jump to Photoshop and I’ll go over some various projects on working between Lightroom and Photoshop.
Finally, we finish the day with output. Saving images for the web, creating photo books, and printing (both color calibration and soft-proofing). I get a ton of great feedback from the seminars and I hope you’ll join me if you’re in the area. Here’s where I’ll be.
• Adobe Max in Los Angeles – Actually this isn’t part of my seminar tour, but if you’re in LA and want to catch a couple of my Lightroom classes, I’ll be there from October 4-9th. You can find the details here about my Lightroom classes and to sign up.
(NOTE: This isn’t part of the free ticket give away)
• Livonia, Michigan – September 29th
• Colorado Springs, CO – October 22nd
• Philadelphia, PA – November 4th (and you get extra points if you bring me a philly soft pretzel) 😉
• San Antonio, TX – December 5th
Here’s the link to the website to sign up. But if you leave a comment and mention the city you want to go to, I’ll pick the winner tomorrow (Friday Sept. 12th). And if you want to snag a seat today in case any of them sell out, I’ll even make sure they refund your seminar fee if you’re the winner.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see you this fall! Oh, and if you do come out to the seminar, please come up and say hi. It’s great to meet people from the blog and it really makes my day 🙂
Love to learn! Would love to be selected. Thx!
Just moved back home to Texas today after being in TN for 16 years and I would LOVE to win a ticket to your San Antonio class! Would be an awesome welcome gift!!! 🙂
I would LOVE to come to see you speak in Philly. Pick me, pick me! Fingers crossed!
would love to attend any one of the cities, but since I live in Australia, you probably won’t pick me! Just wanted to say ‘Hi’ anyway!
Would love to meet you & attend your workshop in San Antonio!
I just watched one of your classes on Kelbyone but would live to attend the event in Colorado Springs!!!
Been following your work and tutorials for years! Love everything you do – you make it all seem so easy! Would LOVE to attend the Philadelphia event! Thanks!!
I would love to attend the Colorado Springs Seminar!
Bring your Mom to the L.A. show. I want you to be at your very best.
I would love to attend your workshop in Colorado Springs! I’m a rescue photographer and use Lightroom for about 90% of my post-processing…I’m sure I could learn something from you to speed up my workflow and/or improve the images.
Would love to see you live Matt!
Thanks for finally coming to the Detroit (Livonia) area instead of Lansing.
Colorado?? You are coming to Colorado?? WA-HOO!! Would love to attend. Colorado really? Now it’s gettin excitin! 🙂
I’d like to attend your San Antonio, TX – December 5th session. Hopefully you pick me as the winner!!!
Pick me for Colorado Springs, CO on October 22nd and I’ll see you there!
Livonia, MI would be awesome!
San Antonio would be my choice, and I would love the chance to take my Lightroom editing to the next level. San Antonio has some of the most beautiful Catholic Missions in the state and it would be a wonderful weekend of learning and shooting!
San Antonio for me please 🙂
Ft. Lauderdale/Miami -I would be thrilled if you pick me 🙂
I’d love to go to the Livonia, Michigan Seminar 🙂
I’m still learning Lightroom and have learned so much by watching your videos! I would love to travel to Livonia, MI to learn even more. Thanks, Matt!
Pick me for Colorado Springs, CO on October 22nd and I’ll see you there!
Considering seeing your show in Philly.
Milwaukee, Wi But I just love to travel. If I had the chance.
Long time Kelby One member but new to Lightroom. This is one of the seminars that is finally close to me. Would love a free ticket!
I have learned SO much by subscribing to KelbyOne and would absolutely LOVE to take your Lightroom class in Michigan this month!!! Thanks for all you do, Matt!!!
Id love to win a chance for a ticket and learn new tips & techniques. Ive never won anything.
I would not turn down a free ticket to the seminar in San Antonio. 🙂
Yeah! Let’s do Colorado Springs in October. Pick me!
This is so kind of you to not only teach and pass on your skills to others, but to offer a giveaway!
Maybe just maybe I will see you at Adobe MAX if things work out for me 🙂
Otherwise, Colorado is a 12 hours drive from Mesa, AZ (Where there are few photo seminars coming through.)
Good luck to everyone who actually lives close to these cities!!! 😀 I’m sure you will enjoy this class

Would be thrilled to attend the Livonia, Michigan one:) Love your your PH headshot BTW!
I’d love to attend your seminar in San Antonio, Tx.
It would be dope to get tickets to the Livonia, MI seminar. I dig your teaching style and have learned a lot from your videos.
Livonia, Michigan – September 29th
Love Lightroom and would love to learn it better!
Here it is!
“Comment”
Would love to attend. Got some if your books. Love them!
I’d love to attend the class in San Antonio. I know I’m not fully utilizing Lightroom yet. Hope to see you there on my birthday.
Kim
Livonia would be great! Well not great as it’s Detroit, but it would be close 🙂
Matt, I recently joined my husband in our photography business. He is the creative one – and I am handling the business and organizational end of things. I have been tasked with learning lightroom. Your seminar would be a great place for me to work on my education. I would travel to Michigan to see you! By the way – I love your work.
Would love to attend your Orlando Lightroom class….
Hi Matt, I’m one of your followers and I love your free presets, especially the fall spot lighting!
I’m waiting for a long time for you to come to Canada, but now you are giving away free tickets….maybe Canada can come to you:)
I would love to see you in Philadelphia, but since I’m not picky, Colorado Springs would work as well with me 😉
Planning to attend Colorado Springs. Two questions: where in the Springs will this be held; and at what level are you teaching. I am ready for an upper intermediate or advanced LR course. If you are there a day early, there are great photo ops at The Air Force Academy, Fall colors, and Independence Pass. Let me know if I can help.
Hey Gerry – the location is the Colorado Springs Marriott. It’s listed on the website I linked to in the post.
As for what level I teach to, it’s almost always beginner to intermediate. Honestly, there is no “advanced” Lightroom class because Lightroom just isn’t deep enough for that. It’s not like Photoshop with infinite possibilities.
I hope to shoot. I’ve got a long trip right before this, so I’m pretty much in and out, but I may try to snag a sunset shoot in if I can. We’ll see.
Thanks 🙂
Great, I would like to participate
Have gone to numerous workshops and look forward to yours
See you in JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – one day Matt!!
I hope that I win San Antionio tickets. You are an awesome instructor.
Hi Matt, would love to attend your Lightroom 5 Seminar in San Antonio, TX. -Mike
Hi Matt,
Will you be coming to Sydney, Australia?
Looking forward to attending your classes sometime.
Tnx, Binu
Please come to New Orleans, I will buy you dinner.
It would really be great to win a ticket to your Colorado Springs, CO event!
Attended one of your classes a couple of years ago in Vegas at PSW. Budget was cut and haven’t been able to go again 🙁
I’d love to be able to attend the one in Texas!
Would love to attend the San Antonio show. I’d drive from Houston.
I have been reading your blog for a while now, and it has really helped me improve my editing. However, attending your Colorado Springs seminar would be a fantastic opportunity to truly improve my photos! Thank you.
San Antonio! There’s no place else like it!
I would love to win a Ticket to the Philadelphia (Nov 4) Lightroom Seminar. And if I win, I promise to bring you Philadelphia Soft Prezels. (With mustard, which is how we eat them in Philadelphia — you can pass on the mustard, but you will have the option.)
Thanks Steve. I have to pass on the mustard. Don’t know why, but I never really liked it 🙂
Hi Matt,
I’d love a free ticket to see you in Philadelphia!
Thanks!
Darren
I believe you to be an excellent and motivating instructor. Colorado is my home, so if you have an extra ticket to the
Springs seminar, I would love to attend. And, thank you for offering free tickets!
I’d love to visit San Antonio in December! I’d fly there if I won a free ticket to your Lightroom workshop.
It’s a couple hours away for me, but CO Springs would be awfully nice.
Matt, I wish I could get and see one of your seminars but it’s a bit of a long way from this little hamlet called Wales…. I was just saying to Mr Obama when he was here last week how that nice guy Matt Kloskowski ought to get himself over here too :o)
I’m interested in the Philly date on Nov 4th. You need to try a pork sandwich from DiNic’s @ the Reading terminal, then the soft pretzel.
We al would to see you come to Phoenix. 🙂
I would love to attend your LR seminar!
Hi Mart, I have watched all your classes on line & have your PS compositing book.
Would love to see you in either Seattle Washington , or Vancouver, BC. I could tag along for your awesome landscape photo shoots too!

Livonia, MI

I would love to attend the one in Livonia!!
I’d love to win! Can you come to Missouri?
Matt, I’d love to attend your seminar in Livonia, Michigan! Thanks for the opportunity for a free seat!

I would be considered for todays drawling for the Philadelphia conference. Thanks
P.S. Any plans in the future to come to DC?
Thanks Alex – nothing planned. The schedule is locked in through Dec. 2014. Hopefully we’ll have Q1 of 2015 soon, but as of now there’s no plans.
Nashville, TN!!!! I would like to attend a seminar at Nashville, so please put one on the schedule.

Hey Matt,
Actually there is no any seminar near my city “Boston”, but i am here just to thank you for everything you showed and taught me over at KelbyOne. I learned a lot and my photography changed because of because of people like you, Scott Kelby, RC and all the folks that works at Kelby Media. Thank you.
Ibrahim.
I have been a little reluctant to drill down into Lightroom and use it as it is intended to be used. But after checking into LR Killer Tips and taking your Kelby One online classes I am finally seeing the huge benefits. Thanks Matt. Oh yeah I’m up here in Denver so please get me to Colorado Springs on 10/22!
Matt, You’re my Lightroom Hero! Would love to see you here in San Antonio on 5 Dec.
Really happy with your videos on Kelbyone and the Podcasts like the Grid. Would like to attend live in Philadelphia!
I attended the Shoot Like a Pro event in Livonia, and had an absolute blast. My problem is that I suck at Lightroom, and am currently broke. Help, Matt.
FUN! Oh, I would LOVE to attend the one in San Antonio! Great time of year to be down there, too. 🙂
Your online stuff is always helpful. A full course in Colorado Springs would be even better!
Would love to take your seminar to conquer my arch nemesis known as Lightroom….in Livonia Michigan. Thanks for all the great tutorials !

In Philadelphia, Pa home of the soft pretzel
I love that there’s a chance I could be in the audience !!!!!
Are you having any classes in Tampa / Orlando area?
The LA event sounds like an event not to miss. It has been a few years (LR3) since I attended one of your seminars. It is hard to keep up with all the great info you deliver, thanks for the extras that help me to remember most of it. I would love, and need to catch up on LR5, so pick me!
Matt, if you mean San AntoniO, TX then count me in! 🙂 I am up in Austin but would be glad to make the drive.
The Colorado Springs location is local for me. Would love to learn some new tips from a Lightroom expert.
Would LOVE to attend your LIvonia, MI workshop. Really enjoy your online traing classes, following your blog posts and LR killer tips. Loved meeting you on the Colorado fall workshop with Tom and George and would love to learn more about LR at a live workshop.
