CATEGORIES

Please tick the boxes that are relevant to your talk. These will help users find your talk listing when they search according to various related criteria.

If you are unclear on whether a particular photo category applies to your talk or how to classify/’tag’ your talk (as a conference, lecture, etc.), please scroll down to the bottom of the page for a list of category definitions, or see below, retrospectively:

Seminar: An instructive presentation or talk on a certain subject, generally limited to a single speaker (though sometimes there will be more than one), speaking to a group larger than that on a workshop. Compared to a course, seminars are typically shorter in duration and less discussion-oriented, characterised by predominantly, though not exclusively, one-sided instruction. Seminars will be more theory-based than courses, with little to no practical element.

Conference: An event organised around a particular subject – generally a topic within a larger area of interest, such as 19th century impressionism in photography, though the focus may be broader – and consisting of a range of topical lectures and presentations from different experts in the field to an audience whose size may vary. Talks within a conference generally involve facilitators.

Symposium: Often used interchangeably with the term ‘conference’, typically designated as a type of strictly academic conference.

Lecture: A speech, sometimes instructive, on a particular topic delivered to a class or an audience. Lectures are typically shorter than seminars and are exclusively one-sided (without a discussion element).

PUBLISHING

Website Publish Status:

Archive: Choose this option if your event is not active currently, but you want it to appear on the website (e.g. you run a course regularly, but it does not have any scheduled dates currently; or you held an exhibition and wish to leave the details and images up on the site for visitors’ reference)

Live: Choose this option if you are satisfied with the details you have filled in about your event; it will be published to the website once you hit ‘save’.

Private: Choose this option if you wish to return to the event listing at a later point before completing it; it will not be published on the website until you change this setting.
