I've just booked flights and accom for IMATS - fly down Fri morn, back to Bris on Mon afternoon. Super excited! Can't wait for the speakers/education info to be released, that's what I'm really waiting for.

Secretly hoping Wicked has opened in Syd by then as well, although I'm not holding my breath

I have no idea if they will do it here like that, but it was sooo easy - they basically said the trade shows are supposed to be for industry professionals only, therefore that was evidence enough.

Looks like they wont be "handing out" PRO cards, sorry girlies!

I sent off my PRO card application & IDs today, Im secretly hoping it will arrive by the time I go to Singapore, but Im not holding my breath!

I've just bought two tix for the Fri night show! If my friend doesn't end up coming to Syd with me, I may have to come back to this thread and pimp myself out to someone willing to be my date for the evening

Now I just need to wait for the seminar schedule and exhibitor list, and I'm a happy camper!

Ok ladies, so even though they wont be handing out pro cards at IMATS, apparently at LA IMATS they will be offering the PRO discount (i.e. 40% off in the US) on all products purchased at the show!

So thats something! (And definitely better than nothing
