How do I find where photography seminars in my area are held?

I am interested in attending photography seminars for wedding photography, portrait photography, etc, and am wondering if anyone knows of a website or somewhere I could find out when and where they are held. I live near the Milwaukee area. Thanks!

Pick up a copy of the 2008 Photographer's Market. It's $27 in Barnes & Nobel. There's a whole chapter in the back on Workshops & Photo Tours. It's also full of all kinds of resources on how to sell your photos, photography organizations, etc. I just got it today. It was definitely worth the money.

I would recommend contacting your local camera club or Professional Photographers Association. You can also Google photo seminars and check with you local college photography department. Once you get onto a mailing list, you’ll start getting notice of upcoming events. Additionally, you can check the websites of the sponsors of the seminar tours and find out where they are going to be, for example, American Photographic Resources Inc is a sponsor and by being on their e-mail list, I get notification of local seminars. These ideas should get you started. Good luck and enjoy.
