The shot you remember isn't always the sharpest one.

It's the one where everything lined up. The light, the structure, the position. Where you were in exactly the right place because you read the sky right, not because you got lucky.

That's the skill. And it's teachable.

To the people who drove four hours for a storm that fell apart:

You're our people.

The ones who check the SPC outlook before coffee. Who know what a mesocyclone looks like. Who have a dedicated folder on their phone just for radar screenshots.

We didn't build a lineup of people who all think the same way.

Jim Tang comes from years of Plains and Arizona chasing. Jeremy Perez brings 30+ years of observation and meteorological depth. Dr. Patrick Bunn runs the highest-resolution forecast model in the Southwest. Donna Ruthruff earned national recognition in just a few seasons. Spike Davis represents the next generation of storm chasers. Jeff Boyce literally built the gear.

Six different backgrounds. Six different perspectives. One day to absorb all of it. Don’t miss out! 🎟

The networking might be as valuable as the sessions.

Storm chasers are a small world. The person sitting next to you on June 27 might become your chase partner. Or your next creative collaborator. Or just the person who finally gets why you drove two hours for a supercell that only lasted twenty minutes.

Monsoon Con is built for this community. Get your ticket and come ready to connect. 🎟

Anticipation beats reaction every single time.

The photographers who get the iconic shots aren't the fastest to press the shutter. They're the ones who already knew where to be.

All six of our Monsoon Con speakers teach this in different ways, from keynote to lightning triggers to data interpretation to early-career positioning strategy.

One day. Everything you need to start anticipating instead of reacting. June 27. 🎟

The gear question everyone asks, and the honest answer.

You don't need the most expensive camera to shoot great storm photos. You need to understand your camera.

Our speakers have shoot on everything from entry-level DSLRs to high-end mirrorless systems and they'll tell you exactly what matters, what doesn't, and where your money is actually worth spending.

Our sponsors don't just write a check. They show up.

Jeff Boyce creator of Bolt Hunter and one of our speakers is the kind of person who spent years studying lightning behavior, built a trigger from the ground up, and then decided to come share everything he knows with a room full of storm photographers.

That's what Monsoon Con is. People who are genuinely obsessed, in the same room, on the same day.

Bolt Hunter is proud to support that. So are we.

Some people watch the storm. Others learn to read it.

The difference between a good storm photo and a great one usually comes down to preparation. Know the storm. Know your position. Know the shot before it happens.

That's what Monsoon Con is built around. June 27. Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Tucson. 🎟

Tag a fellow chaser who needs to be in the room.

You know the one. Texts you radar screenshots at 11pm. Knows the difference between a shelf cloud and a wall cloud. Has definitely driven way too far for a storm that fell apart.

Tag them. Tickets are still available, but we keep it small on purpose. 🎟

Here's what a day at Monsoon Con looks like.

You start with a keynote from Jim Tang on storm structure and anticipation. You hear Donna Ruthruff break down how skills compound over seasons. Spike Davis @azstormchase_photo compresses the early learning curve. Jeff Boyce @ gets into the science of capturing lightning. Jeremy Perez connects weather data to real positioning decisions. Dr. Patrick Bunn shows you how to actually use UA WRF in the field.

Then you drive home a better storm photographer.

June 27. Grab your ticket while there's still room. 🎟
