Most were in the popular Day in the Life and America 24/7 series, which he co-founded. Four of Cohen’s books have been New York Times bestsellers, including the New York Times #1 bestseller, A Day in the Life of America. Many of his other books were national bestsellers in the US and abroad. His most recently published book, What Matters (Sterling, 2008), includes work by the preeminent photojournalists and thinkers of our time. It contends that great photojournalism about essential issues can change the world. Cohen has been profiled in The New York Times, People and other major periodicals. He has appeared on The Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS Sunday Morning, NPR’s All Things Considered and other major programs. His books have appeared twice each on the covers of Time and Newsweek.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
