The best thing about the Nikon Tour is that all of this is entirely free. For the first time, Nikon has scheduled specific programming days: Intro to Photography, Nikkor Z Lens Day and ZR Day, catering to beginners, enthusiast photographers and video creators, respectively.
According to Kristen Pritchett, Nikon’s marketing events and experiential manager: “The first half of the Nikon Tour was incredibly successful in bringing our community together and providing meaningful ways for creators of all levels to connect, learn and experience Nikon gear firsthand”.
