It’s time to thrive
Edinburgh Thrive
Mark your calendars for 20-21 April, when we return to the incredible Imaginex at the Yotel in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town.
Day One is packed with inspiration from six phenomenal speakers. Day Two is where Thrive is different, because that’s when you get to roll your sleeves up and put it all into practice, right there in the room.
We only have 100 places, and every time we’ve done Edinburgh, they’ve sold out.

The lowdown
Two days, two modes
Tuesday 20 April 2027
Day One
Keynotes to fire you up
We host our talks in Imaginex, a dramatic 360° screening room inside the Yotel. It’s the perfect backdrop for a day of growth, education and connection.
Six speakers share fresh insights and strategies you can actually use in your business and your photography, then a panel discussion on the topics that matter most to you. We wrap up with a social event in the same space.

Day Two
Take it and run with it
Our aim on Day One is to give you a bolt of inspiration. On Day Two you can opt into small-group sessions with our keynote speakers and start implementing straight away.
There’s also a full programme of business talks and group sessions from industry experts and our sponsors, open to every ticket holder, and we wrap up with the Million Pound Drop, our bumper prize giveaway.

Got some questions?
The good stuff to know
Can’t see your question here? Drop us a line and we’ll get straight back to you.
Where is Thrive Edinburgh?
We’re based at Imaginex inside the Yotel: YOTEL Edinburgh, 68-73 Queen Street, Edinburgh EH2 4NA.
Do I have to attend both days?
We think you’ll get the most out of Thrive if you do, but we understand that not everyone can. Your main ticket covers both days of talks but some people just make it to the main keynotes on Day One.
Can I come along just on Day Two?
Yes, if you just want to join the photographer-led small groups. We’ll be at the hotel all day, as will our sponsors, with a full programme of business talks. The timetable goes out shortly before the event, so plan to spend as much time with us as you can.
What is the schedule?
Registration is 9-9.30am on Day One and the talks finish by 6pm, followed by drinks and a social. On Day Two we open at 9am and we’re there all day. Small-group sessions start at 10am, 1pm and 3.30pm. The Million Pound Drop finishes Thrive at around 6pm.
How do tickets work?
Conference tickets cover both days of talks. Day Two small-group sessions with our keynote speakers have their own tickets, and anyone can book them, with or without a conference ticket.
Are the Day Two sessions included in my ticket?
No, they’re entirely optional and you book the ones you’d like to join. They’re all about learning in a small group from our keynote speakers. They offer either portfolio shoots or business developement sessions
Can I bring my business partner?
If you work together as a Duo all of the time, you can both come on one ticket. Just email Lisa with your website and we’ll set it up. This isn’t for photographer and assistant, or associates within one brand. Places are limited and must be booked in advance.
Have you got accommodation recommendations?
We recommend staying at the Yotel and booking direct on their website for the best rate.
Do I print my tickets?
No, you’ll be 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 aren’t refundable but they are transferable. Just let us know and we’ll change the name over.
Do I need my camera?
Day One is mostly seated presentations, but Day Two has 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’re deaf, please get in touch before you buy a ticket.
What do I do about food?
Food is included on Day One and we’ll ask about your food preferences at checkout. Please note, Yotel does not have a restaurant so it will be simple options like soup and sandwiches. Everyone’s Day Two looks different, so we don’t provide 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 sessions to sell out in advance.
