Portfolio reviews give aspiring and established photographers the perfect opportunity to get feedback and advice on their work from the right people – plus, these events are a wonderful way to make contacts and meet like-minded photography professionals.

Our friends at PhotoAlliance in San Francisco hold a portfolio review once a year. Their event brings together top photography editors, publishers, curators, gallerists, and educators representing small, mid-sized, and major venues from around the U.S., to meet with engaged photographers, review their portfolios and encourage their careers and exchange opportunities.

The Our World event is pre-juried, with a limit of 50 participants, and is set to take place the weekend of March 12-14, 2010. Last date for applications is EXTENDED to February 19, 2010. For more details, check out www.photoalliance.org/ourworld.pdf.

Highly recommended.
