This year, we tried something a little different: a <em>mini meetup.<\/em> \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of our usual multi-day, large-group format, we scaled things down intentionally \u2013 fewer photographers, fewer planned activities, and just two core days together rather than four. And honestly? It was kind of magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The smaller group meant we could actually <em>sit down<\/em> with everyone. Have real conversations. Hear each other&#8217;s stories. There was no rushing through a detailed agenda or getting lost in a big crowd \u2013 just genuine, meaningful connection over good food, golden light, and cobblestoned streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

often, in more corners of the world. We can bring photographers together in different regions without the massive coordination lift of a full-scale event. And for photographers joining a meetup for the first time, a smaller, more intimate gathering is so much less intimidating \u2013 and so much more collaborative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also made a conscious choice to leave more unstructured time in the schedule. More free time meant our introverts had room to breathe and recharge, and our extroverts? They wandered the streets of Rome together, cameras in hand, soaking in every beautiful corner they could find. Because of course they did. \ud83d\udcf8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(See our past meetups in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/blog\/6th-photographer-meetup-paris\/\">Paris<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/blog\/yamas-meetup-in-santorini\/\">Santorini<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/blog\/bom-dia-flytographers-4th-global-meetup-in-lisbon\/\">Lisbon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/blog\/saluti-our-3rd-global-meetup-in-florence\/\">Florence<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/blog\/team-flytographers-2nd-global-meetup-barcelona\/\">Barcelona<\/a>, and our very first meetup in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/blog\/team-flytographers-first-global-meetupin-paris\/\">Paris<\/a> back in 2015!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Rome-69-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Rome-69-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Rome-69-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Rome-69-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Rome-69-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Rome-69.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flytographer.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-san-clemente-meet-natalie\/\">Photo by Natalie in San Clemente.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunday, April 13th<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arrivals!
