On your laptop. Or your desktop computer, mobile device or any other means you use for online viewing. This event is 100% online.

We wanted to make this valuable education available to everyone, so yes, it really is free. Just grab a free pass and you're all set. With a free pass, you get 48 hours of access to watch the classes, so for example, classes released on Monday will be available until Wednesday, and then they will no longer be available (except for VIP members). Yes, there is an optional paid pass, but you get to see the same classes as VIP members. The difference is, VIP members get lifetime access to watch the classes as often as they want, along with extras such as class notes and bonus sessions. So there's no "catch" - if you have the time, you can watch the entire summit for free.

Although the format is the same as past Photoshop Virtual Summits, this event is different because it focusses on the creative side of Photoshop. We'll cover developing your style, how to get inspiration, creative photography with Photoshop in mind, compositing, textures and overlays, adding light and shadow, fine art, showcasing your work and so much more. If you want to be more creative with Photoshop - while learning secrets of masking, painting, blending images and more - this is the event for you!

No! Although many of the classes focus on creating engaging and compelling artwork in Photoshop, there are also classes on how to get inspired, how to be more creative, as well as how to print, share and sell your work. There really is something for everyone. And who knows, seeing these artists in action may motivate you to try something new!

No, as long as you have a current browser, you are good to go! (Chrome is recommended but not required)

We are thrilled to have a "who's who" of best-selling authors, award-winning artists, and the best Photoshop teachers on the planet sharing their knowledge at this summit! The instructor team includes Anya Anti, Bert Monroy, Brooke Shaden, Corey Barker, Daniel Gregory, Dave Cross, Glyn Dewis, Jesús Ramirez, Joel Robison, John Paul Caponigro, Karen Alsop, Khara Plicanic, Kirk Nelson, Lisa Carney, Richard Sturdavent, Sebastian Michaels, Theresa Jackson, and Vanessa Rivera It's an unprecedented Instructor Team for an online event! If you haven't already checked out the instructor bios above, you should read up on their expertise and the classes they'll be teaching.

We have sessions aimed at all levels of Photoshop users, from beginners to veteran users. This event focusses on the creative side of Photoshop, so if you've always wanted to be more creative and create artistic, conceptual, dramatic, imaginative and beautiful images, this is the event for you. If you've dreamt of getting your work published, holding gallery shows and marketing your work on social media, we've got you covered there too. Even if you do not plan to delve into the artwork side of Photoshop, you'll still benefit from the instructors sharing their favorite Photoshop techniques that can be used for any purpose.
And with the optional VIP Pass, you have lifetime access to watch the classes, so down the road you can watch sessions that might be a little over your head at the time of the Summit.

Technically, each day starts at 8am ET, but that's just when the first class is made available. Each session is available for 48 hours, so you don't need to worry about getting up at some crazy time of day to watch "live". You won't miss anything by watching later. Each day at around 7am ET you'll receive an email with a link to that day's classes.

It doesn't really matter, because although classes are released at specific times, they remain available for 48 hours. And you won't miss anything if you aren't watching at a specific time. But since you asked, times are shown in Eastern Standard Time (EST) - and here is a Time Zone Calculator.

It's the brainchild of and being run by Dave Cross LLC (Dave Cross and his wife). Not a big company with lots of employees and support staff - just the two of us. This is not an Adobe-run event!
So we ask for your understanding and patience as we attempt to handle any issues that may come up before, during or after the Summit. Thanks!

The optional VIP Access Pass gives you lifetime access to all the sessions, along with extra benefits including audio-only recordings, session notes and practice exercises and downloadable files. If you miss any class - or want to rewatch your favorite sessions - the VIP Pass has you covered.

For people who can't watch all the classes during the week, or who want the option to re-watch their favorite classes, we have the optional VIP Pass. This gives lifetime access to watch (and re-watch) the recordings of all classes, plus exclusive extras including class notes, downloadable files and bonus videos. The VIP Pass is available for $159 ($99 Early Bird price until March 27th at Noon EST).

With the cancellation in the past couple of years of so many in-person conferences, it was determined that running this event online was the best decision we could make. Now people continue to ask for an online event so they can avoid the high cost of travel, hotel and meals.

The videos will be delivered through video hosting services that give viewers the option to turn on auto-generated captions.

We use a hosting service and embedding code that makes it pointless to bookmark the page. Once the 48 hour viewing period has expired, the videos can only be viewed within the VIP Member Area.
