The RPS AGM 2022, The Photographer's Journey, has been designed with you, our members, in mind. The programme has been put together by a fantastic team of volunteers and will take you through the many different areas of the RPS, and demonstrate all we can do to help take your photography forwards.
The day includes inspirational speakers, a tour of our brand-new online member-only Portal, insights into our certified courses and opportunities available all year round, and much more. We hope that by the end of the day you will leave with a better idea of how we can help you on your own photographic journey, no matter where you are along the way.

The Photographer's Journey
At the RPS, we want everyone to enjoy photography irrespective of your age or technical ability. Whether you use a smartphone camera, or have an arsenal of sophisticated equipment, we can help you develop your practical and creative photography skills.
At this year’s AGM, we will inspire you along your own photographic pathway with our programme of talks and events.
We are excited to welcome two brilliant, inspirational photographers to present their work and describe their personal photographic journeys. There will also be presentations by RPS staff explaining how our new CRM (customer relationship management) system will help us to deliver to every Member a bespoke and highly personalised service that will encourage and support your own photographic journey.
Following our keynote speakers in the morning session, we will be giving you an overview of the new CRM and Portal and share the exciting upcoming additions to the system that you will all be able to enjoy soon.
Afterwards, we will take a closer look at what the RPS has to offer you and meet the organisations who run courses in conjunction with us. We will also look at how Distinctions can play a key part in your photographic journey.
