B&H Presents: OPTIC 2020, the Digital Online Edition

This year, B&H, in partnership with Lindblad Expeditions, is thrilled to announce OPTIC 2020, on June 7 and 8. This year marks the sixth return of OPTIC and its first digital version, existing entirely online. Wildlife, landscape, and travel photographers from around the world will now be able to stream lectures, submit to image critiques, participate in the OPTIC Challenge, attend a virtual trade show, and join OPTIC hangouts to network and chat. This year also marks the first edition of OPTIC Magazine, a digital publication dedicated to the conference packed with articles, interviews, photos, and promotions.
