Two Incredible Days
Mark your calendars for Thrive on 10-11 March when we are returning to the incredible Imaginex at Yotel, Edinburgh.
This is our 10-year anniversary for our conference so expect something extra special.
DAY ONE IS PACKED WITH INSPIRATION:
Six phenomenal speakers sharing fresh insights and actionable strategies to elevate your business and photography.
End the day with an engaging panel discussion to explore the topics that matter most to you.
Lunch, snacks, and plenty of creative energy included. Don’t miss this chance to learn, grow, and connect with fellow photographers.
DAY TWO IS WHERE THRIVE IS DIFFERENT:
We run another full day of talks with a business focus from industry experts and our sponsors. You can also book onto shoots with each of our keynote speakers. These are 90 minutes with a maximum of 10 in each group and are entirely optional.

DAY 1 – EDINBURGH
THE LOWDOWN
10th March 2026
Get ready to be inspired as we host our talks in the dramatic Imaginex – a dramatic 360° screening room located at the Yotel in the heart of New Town. It’s the perfect backdrop for a day filled with growth, education, and connection.
On DAY ONE of the conference, we have a stellar lineup of esteemed speakers. From industry insights to creative strategies, you’ll gain invaluable knowledge and expertise to elevate your photography business to new heights.
Our aim is to fire you up with a bolt of inspiration and then on Day Two you can opt to join portfolio/mentor sessions to immediately start implementing.

DAY 2 – EDINBURGH
11th March 2026
On DAY TWO you can opt to book additional sessions with our speakers. These are in small groups and they are your chance to learn directly from our lead photographers. Expect portfolio shoots and group work – these will be announced soon
On the second day, we also run a full programme of business talks and finish up the day with the Million Pound Drop – our bumper prize giveaway.
WHAT HAPPENS ON DAY TWO?
Whilst Day One at Thrive is about taking in all the presentations from our wonderful keynote speakers, Day Two shifts so we can opt to take that inspiration and immediately start implementing.
Unique to Thrive, we offer an optional series of 90-minute sessions with our main speakers. These might be going out and shooting for your portfolio with them and learning how they direct and work in different locations, or it can look like small focused group sessions. The speakers decide this part, so stay tuned.
You can also:
- Chat to our lovely Sponsors.
- Take part in business talks over the entire day and join us at the end for our Million Pound Drop where we give away prizes.
- Socialise with other attendees and hang out.
Got some Questions?
Where is Thrive Edinburgh?
Do I have to attend both days?
We think you would get the most out of Thrive if you do but we also understand that not everyone will be able to.
Thrive is Keynotes from our main speakers on Day One, business talks from other speakers on Day Two. In addition, there are the small group sessions with our main speakers on the second day.
Your main Thrive ticket covers the two days of talks – the second day small group sessions are additional. You can opt to just do these sessions without having a main conference ticket.
Have you got accommodation recommendations?
We recommend staying at Yotel and booking directly on their site for their best rate.
Can I come along just on Day Two?
Yes, if you just wish to take part in the photographer led small groups.
We will be at the hotel all day as will the event sponsors and we will have a full day of business talks happening. The timetable for these is published shortly before. If you can, plan to spend as much time with us as possible.
What is the schedule?
Registration is from 9-9.30am on Day One and the talks will finish by 6pm. We then host a social with drinks and the Pic-Time Storytelling event is 7-8pm.
On Day Two we open at 9.00am and will be there all day. You are welcome at any time and Shoot Sessions start at 10, 1 and 3.30.
How do Tickets work for Thrive?
We have Conference tickets that cover both days of talks.
We also have optional tickets for the small group sessions, which are often shoots. Anyone can book these – you do not have to hold a conference ticket.
Are The Shoots Included in Conference Tickets?
No, these are entirely optional and you purchase tickets for the ones that you wish to attend. They are about learning in a practical way from our mentors and shooting your own images alongside them.
Are Duo Tickets available for Thrive?
Yes, just email us with your website address so we can check if you are a Duo and we will send you a code to get Duo Tickets. You must work all of the time as a Duo – not photographer and assistant or associates within one brand.
Please note, Duo tickets are very limited and on a first come first serve basis.
Do I print my tickets?
No, we will have you on our list on the day.
You can see your tickets on your account page.
Can I get a refund or transfer my ticket?
Tickets are not refundable but they are transferable. Just let us know please and will change over the names.
Do I need my camera?
Day One is mostly seated presentations but Day Two will have more practical elements so please bring your kit.
Is there Disabled Access?
Yes all of the spaces for exhibitors and classes are fully accessible. If you are deaf please get in touch before purchasing a ticket.
What do I do about food at Thrive?
Food is included on Day One. At the checkout, you will be asked about your food preferences. Our aim is to look after you during your time with us.
As everyone’s schedule is different on Day Two, we are not providing lunch but there are plenty of options nearby.
Can I buy a Day Two Session on the day?
Yes, just come and see us at The Welcome Desk but we expect some classes to sell out in advance.
