This conference was started by two Instagram-addicted photographers and nerds, Nate Bolt & Jessica Zollman, who teamed up with Blurb to put together a killer event. We're fascinated by the way iPhonegraphy and mobile phone photography is changing photography and mobile device usage, both for work and play. Art direction generously donated by the aesthetically blessed Michael O'Neal, who brought Chris Wilson and Joshua Swanbeck to create our logo. Questions? info@boltpeters.com
