🌈 PolaCon NYC is BACK! Instant Film Society and Brooklyn Film Camera are once again
joining forces to bring PolaCon to the Big Apple and we are *thrilled* to announce the official sponsor of this year's gathering - Polaroid! With our powers combined, we will be bringing you the biggest and best PolaCon yet. Join us from May 17-19 for three days of instant film delight.

So what is PolaCon? Well, quite simply, it's shorthand for "Polaroid Conference" but PolaCon has transformed to become so much more than that. While the core of PolaCon remains educational, the heart of PolaCon is in the community that it draws together. Every year, hundreds of us whose hearts flutter for instant-photography are pulled together like a vortex by the PolaCon call. We travel from all over the world to be there, we share long days and little sleep, we see old friends and we meet new ones, we learn tips and tricks from each other, we share cameras, we share stories, and we create memories and photographs to last a lifetime. PolaCon is a pilgrimage for those who cherish the tangible magic of instant film. We can't wait to see you there.

💪 PolaCon is a community-powered event! Fill out the application below to volunteer. Volunteers will receive full access to the entire PolaCon NYC weekend in exchange for 3 hours of their time! Please be sure that you can commit to your volunteer shift as the event very much relies on you. Thanks for helping make PolaCon happen!
