Following the success of its inaugural 2023 event, B&H has officially announced the return of BILD Expo for 2025, promising an even larger celebration of photo, video, and content creation. This two-day event, taking place June 17–18 at the Javits Center in New York City, is set to be a premier gathering for visual storytellers of all levels—and, as before, attendance is free with registration.

BILD Expo 2025 will bring together over 250 exhibitors and 100+ speakers, including world-renowned photographers, filmmakers, educators, and industry leaders. Attendees can expect hands-on experiences, portfolio and pitch reviews, educational sessions, and exclusive show specials from major gear brands. For filmmakers, photographers, and content creators alike, BILD offers tailored tracks across all disciplines, making it one of the most versatile creative expos in the U.S.

Among the many standout speakers are Cristina Mittermeier, Shuang Hu, Scott Kelby, Oren Soffer and Drex Lee, who will share insights across photography, filmmaking, and digital content creation.

A Must-Attend Event for Filmmakers – with a unique CineD talk by Nino Leitner

For those in the filmmaking industry, the Filmmaking track includes expert-led workshops, gear showcases, and talks that explore the evolving landscape of visual storytelling. Among the confirmed speakers is CineD’s Nino Leitner, who will be presenting a talk titled “Ready Creator One”. His session will dive into efficient filmmaking in a shifting industry, exploring how to transform fear into fuel and leverage AI to amplify—rather than automate—artistic expression. Nino’s talk is an anticipated highlight for professionals interested in navigating the changing creative and technological terrain of production.

Beyond the Expo Floor

Bild Expo 2025 extends well beyond the walls of the Javits Center. Attendees can look forward to photo walks around NYC, evening excursions, and the official rooftop reception on June 18, which closes the event with panoramic views of Manhattan, refreshments, and networking opportunities. Special experiences—like the Lighting Studio, Macro Exploration, Sports Photography Experience, and Audio Lab—give creators of every stripe new opportunities to refine their skills.
