New England weather doing what it does best… keeping us on our toes!

We know many of you are watching the weather closely, with a blizzard expected to hit Connecticut from Sunday night through Monday. We’ve been getting a lot of questions and want to keep you as informed as possible in the days ahead.

Important update:
Monday Masterclasses will no longer take place on Monday. A few of them are being moved to Thursday morning during the Summit, and all Masterclass attendees will receive a separate email with details.

At this time, Tuesday through Thursday will continue as planned, with the possibility of minor schedule adjustments depending on how the storm impacts the week.

If you’d like to arrive early to be safe, the hotel has confirmed there are plenty of rooms available for Sunday night.

If anything changes, we’ll continue to communicate updates as quickly as possible. For now, we are planning to host the 2026 Lens & Light Summit starting Tuesday morning as scheduled.

Please stay safe! We can’t wait to see you soon!
