Looking back through the website traffic since the beginning of the year I'm going to show off who's been going where.
Those who were posted for a long time have a significant advantage as they usually get search visitors week to week. I'll share some of those stats as well.
Keep in mind that the stats are a bit off since there were many people that stayed on the blog home page and didn't click on individual blog posts.

Stats
Over 70 external sites had 10 or more links from ATP
over 6000 people visited the site with many coming many times.
Making this list so that people (like myself) know who some of the photographers who'll be presenting next week in Vegas.
Why it was Made
I was surprised that a list like this with links to the photographer's websites wasn't already available anywhere. Very shocked.
So I took it upon myself to do so. Now I know why it hadn't been made...
Because it took so very long to find each person's site and put it together. Well over 10 (often interrupted hours)
Personally I don't know who almost anyone is, so I wanted to get a better idea of the people I might listen to or meet.
I got to see the work of 100+ different photographers presenting at a wildly popular photography conference.
How to be used?
It's nice to know about the people you meet. (That was my motivation.)
Also, you're going to these classes. A suggestion might be made: to check out the work of the person you're going to learn from.
Maybe you'll want to go to the guy with average talent to see how he got so successful.
If it's posing and other pictures taking skills, see what you're getting into.
A Twitter list of those presenting at WPPI will be found here WPPI2010 - only about a fourth of the presenters seem to use twitter or make it known on their sites.
Suggest that others be added to the list message @Jarvie or @allphotogs
I will attempt to fill in what kind of classes they're teaching MC=Master Class PL=Platform SP=Spanish Presentation AAS = School
Up Next
Many companies/vendors have photographers presenting at their booths.
Get me the links to those lists of presenters and I'll see what I can do to highlight some of them as well.
Who are you most excited to see at WPPI?
