Other World Computing (OWC®), a trusted leader in high-performance storage, memory, connectivity, software, and accessories that empower creative and business professionals to maximize performance, enhance reliability, and streamline workflows, today announced it will showcase its unparalled roster of Atlas memory cards and readers, portable and desktop storage and connectivity solutions – including the first-ever Thunderbolt^TM 5 storage solution, and the OWC Envoy Ultra at ShutterFest 2025, taking place April 22–24, 2025 at St. Louis Union Station in St. Louis, Missouri.

In addition, and not to be missed, Eric Stoner, Technical Education and Business Development at OWC, will lead an exclusive, hands-on photo walk during ShutterFest. As a Master Photographer and international print judge, Stoner will guide attendees through a dynamic shooting experience designed to help photographers of all levels make their work flow – from composition and lighting to real-time feedback and workflow insights powered by OWC gear.

When: Wednesday, April 23, 2025, 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm

Where: Midway Suite 6

Bonus: OWC will give away an OWC Atlas Memory Card and Card Reader (valued up to $250) to one lucky person in the class who stays until the end of the session.

Said Stoner, "I've learned a lot in my years photographing and work by one major rule... ‘It's not what happens to you that matters. It's how you react.’* That, alone, has made me a better photographer."
