Schedule
Across the day, you’ll hear from experienced storm photographers, lightning specialists, educators, and forecasters who spend real time in the field each season studying and documenting the Southwest monsoon. The sessions are designed to be practical, experience-driven, and immediately useful whether you’re refining your forecasting workflow, improving your lightning captures, or learning how others approach structure and timing in rapidly changing conditions.
