July 16th – 18th, 2027
Old Kinderhook | Lake of the Ozarks
It’s time to bring the FUN back to photography!
FotoChaos 2027 is three days of photography, creativity, education, and community at Old Kinderhook at the Lake of the Ozarks. This isn’t a conference where you spend the entire weekend sitting in a chair. FotoChaos is about getting involved, trying something new, picking up your camera, and learning alongside other photographers.
Join us for hands-on photo shoots, educational sessions, live demonstrations, image competition, great speakers, vendors, after-hours shoots, social events, and plenty of opportunities to connect with photographers from across the region.
Whether photography is your career, your side business, or simply something you love, you’ll leave FotoChaos with new ideas, new connections, and hopefully a little more excitement about picking up your camera.
Come learn. Come shoot. Come connect. Come have some fun.
