Geekoto Brings Live Lighting Education and a Hands-On Headshot Experience to WPPI 2026

GRAND PRAIRIE, TX — February 24, 2026 — Geekoto, the Texas-based lighting and support brand known for creator-first tools and in-house manufacturing, announced today its live demo schedule and on-site experiences for WPPI 2026, taking place March 1–5, 2026 at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Across all three expo days (Tuesday–Thursday), Geekoto will run short, practical lighting sessions built for real-world workflows—fast setups, repeatable results, and techniques attendees can apply immediately on portraits, weddings, editorial work, and hybrid photo/video production. WPPI show floor dates and hours are Tuesday, March 3 through Thursday, March 5, 2026.
New for WPPI 2026, Geekoto will also host a headshot demo where attendees can step in and test the company’s Portrait Kit lighting workflow—seeing firsthand how quickly a clean, professional look can be built on a simple setup.
“WPPI is where working photographers come for tools and education that translate to paid shoots,” said Hiram Trillo, Head Geek at Geekoto. “We’re bringing real demos, real setups, and a headshot experience people can actually jump into—then we’re backing it with a show special across our entire lineup.”
