84th Grand Conclave Photography Team Report

By Bro. James Witherspoon – International Photographer


June 26, 2024 - The 84th Grand Conclave in Tampa, Florida, was a resounding success, with our team of photographers capturing nearly every moment of the exciting events and activities. Two key highlights of the Grand Conclave were the Service Awards Ceremony and the Silent March.

The Service Awards Ceremony was a momentous occasion, a testament to the outstanding service and dedication of our brothers to the Fraternity. It was a standout event that filled us all with pride and honor.

The Silent March was a poignant tribute that brought together the brothers of Omega Psi Phi and the Tampa community in a powerful display of unity and remembrance. This event truly embodied the spirit of our “Conclave with a Purpose,” leaving us all feeling connected and reflective.

Our dedicated team of photographers worked tirelessly to document every aspect of the Conclave, resulting in 31,226 stunning images that resulted from the largest Grand Conclave in Omega’s history.

The team captured candid moments and formal ceremonies; these photos showcase the diversity and vibrancy of the Conclave experience.

The International Headquarters website has a collection of over 40 galleries of images captured at the 84th Grand Conclave.
