CANON PRO SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY EVENT
Tuesday, 21st April 2026
St. George’s Park National Football Centre, Burton‑on‑Trent
A rare, invitation‑only opportunity for established sports photographers to experience the performance, precision and professional workflow of the Canon system in an exclusive, small‑group environment.
Hosted by Canon specialists and leading sports photographers, the day offers a behind‑the‑scenes look at how the Canon system is engineered for reliability, speed and consistency in elite sporting conditions - with the space to explore, question and test in a way not typically possible on match day.
Throughout the event, you’ll have access to the system, the expertise, and the insights that shape top‑tier sports imagery.

This private evening brings us together for relaxed conversation, shared experiences and connection.
