Title: Istockalypse
Post by: leaf on August 22, 2006, 15:25

I have a question for you istock-know-it alls :)

I see there is an istockalypse in Barcelona soon.. on that page i see 'community events' with one in amsterdam.  Is this an istockalypse as well, or something different.  What is a community event compared to istockalypse.

Uh-oh I don't really want to be known as an iStockknowitall! lol

An iStockalypse in an officialy sanctionaed and planned event, which most of the bigwigs attend and they seem to book some amazing models and locations.  (Big budget stuff!)

Because it got so popular to see threads about peole wanting to start local mini meetups, they creaed an officail section for it.  These tend to be smaller cheaper affairs but by some accoutns even more fun than the official events!

ok thanks.
Have you ever been to an istockalypse amanada?  They look like they could be an informative time.

I haven't been to an official one but have met local iStockers at mini meet-ups.  I really hope to make one next time they have it in the US, for me it's not worth it to get a passport and fly internationally at the moment. THey look like a fantastic time and are always very well documented with wrap up articles & photos, you can check out the latest one here: http://www.istockphoto.com/article_view.php?ID=85
