How to Sell Photos at Corporate Events: Conferences, Summits, and Galas

Corporate events are an underrated opportunity for photo sales. Professionals at conferences, summits, and galas want high-quality photos for their LinkedIn profiles, company newsletters, and personal branding. They have the budget and the motivation to buy.

Why Corporate Attendees Buy Photos

• LinkedIn content: A professional photo from a conference is premium LinkedIn content.
• Personal branding: Executives invest in their image. Professional event photos support that.
• Company use: Marketing teams want photos for newsletters and internal communications.
• Higher willingness to pay: Corporate professionals have higher disposable income and expense accounts.
