What is International Presentation of Performers?
iPOP! is a Convention that happens twice a year: in Las Vegas in July and Hollywood in January. iPOP! brings trained performers and models together with leading talent managing and modeling agencies from all over the United States, as well as Europe and Asia. Find out more about iPOP! here.
How will each participant benefit from going to iPOP!?
At iPOP! every performer auditions for qualified professionals who are currently working in the industry. Some will walk away with a contract signed right on the spot, some will be contacted later. All of them, however, will get a chance to experience the realities of the entertainment and fashion industries from the inside. They will get valuable experience in performing in front of large groups of people, as well as important agents and managers, practice their auditioning skills, and develop networking skills.
How can I attend iPOP!?
The performers must complete training at one of the participating schools to be able to attend the event. iPOP! is known for showing the agents only those performers who are learning their craft, are passionate about it, and have what it takes to become a success. Your teacher/coach will know when you are ready to show your beautiful talented self to the agents, managers and casting directors. You can find a participating school closest to your home here.
Which talent and modeling agents and managers attend the convention?
Agents, managers and casting directors can attend iPOP! by invitation only. Invitational list is limited to those agents and managers who are reputable and respected in the business, and have the power to launch careers for actors, models, singers and dancers. It's not "how many" that matters at iPOP! it's "who." Find out who are some of the agents that we're inviting to iPOP! Hollywood 2006 here.
Why are aspiring models and talent called "Performers" at iPOP!?
There are no "contestants" at iPOP! "Contestants" go to beauty pageants. iPOP! respects each participant as a performer, who attends the event to improve their auditioning and performing skills, perform in front of the leading professionals in the industry, and develop networking skills that will benefit them in the future.
Should parents come to iPOP!?
We encourage parents to come if they can, to provide support and encouragement for their children. Parents need to understand the business, know how to be a part of their child's career choice, and know how to support them all the way through. Parents get a chance to see how the industry's professionals work, and learn how to help make their child a star.
