 Memory Keepers Live Summit 

A One-Day Virtual Event for Family Historians, Memory Keepers & Storytellers
Saturday, September 27, 2025  |  100% Online Event
Before there was Save Your Photos Month, there was Save Your Photos Day—a single day focused on protecting the memories that matter most. This year, we’re returning to those roots with an all-new live event just for individuals who want to preserve their photo collections, organize digital memories, and prepare for life’s unpredictable moments.

​​​​​​​Whether you’re a family historian, the unofficial photo keeper in your family, or just someone determined to finally organize years of memories, this summit is designed for you.

 SAVE YOUR PHOTOS MONTH IS PRESENTED BY 

Since 2011, The Photo Managers have supported professional photo organizers, establishing the gold standard in the industry.

Why This Work is Important

The growing need for professional photo management services stems from the desire to organize, protect, and enjoy these precious moments. By providing expertise and support, The Photo Managers ensure that valuable memories are safeguarded and easily accessible for future generations.
