So far we know:
-Oscar winner Howard Berger & the Narnia make-up team will be guest speakers
-Gino Acevedo of Weta Workshop will be a speaker

But chances are most wont be announced until much closer to the date (that was the case with IMATS LA)

Im thinking either flying in Thursday or Friday and then flying back Mon or Tues, really depends on my work roster and whether we have an event around that time!

Guys, do you need some sort of proof of being an industry professional to get in to this?

 

[xLongLashesx]

WOOPS just found my answer!

 

[xLongLashesx]

YAY! Just booked my tickets.. now just have to explain to my bf why I need to fly to Sydney to go to this

 

[sambibabe]

Lucky you longlashes!!

My friend just came back from IMATS LA and all the booths were offering discounts on their products! Damn.. Wish I could go!

 

[darkorchid]

:S I want to go...but I'm saving for so many things as well...but then I'm like there will be discounts for things...but then I think I shouldn't be buying these things! Decisons decisions >_<

 

[MrsMay]

Has everyone sorted out their accommodation yet? If so, whereabouts are you staying? I'm trying to figure out where I should stay...

 

[xLongLashesx]

I'm just flying in early in the AM and flying back in the PM so no accomodation for me.. want to keep as much cash as possible for my purchases!

I think Rae Morris is speaking too.
At LA IMATS they had the Style Black collection and the dazzlecreams out for sale which arent released for awhile so it looks like at IMATS you get a bit of a sneak peek.
With a discount.
hellzyeah.

I couldn't find this anywhere (maybe I'm blind) but what type of identification will you need to show to get in, and can you just show it on the day. I'm starting a diploma of makeup in July and am wondering whether they'd accept students if I take in my enrollment information, just wondering because I know at the International Melb and Syd beauty expos I was allowed to attend as a beauty therapy student. Would love to hear from anyone who knows!

^^ IMATS is open to the general public, so you wont have any issues with ID

Woo! Happy to hear this! Can't waittt!

 

[jacquiqui]

thank goodness i'll be in sydney when IMATS is there. i'm currently in canada and was in the states a week ago and didn't get to go to the one in california.

hopefully IMATS sydney will be just as good as what i've heard of the california one.

Does anyone know what times the door are open for? Contemplating flying up for the day but need to know what time it opens and closes.

 

[simplyenchantin]

Hmmm.. so tempting to come up just for the day!

 

[rockin26]

I looked at flights and I can get there return for about $140 so it's not so bad but would like to book soon if I go. Just don't know what times to booked for and can't find any info with the show times?

 

[xLongLashesx]

I think they open at 8:30am according to some forum linked to the website.

Come up just for the day!

I'm leaving melb at 7:15am and coming back at 6pm I think.. I'll check the flight times. I got my flights for $98 return with Virgin.

They've finally created a website with absolutely no information:
IMATS Sydney 2009

But their FB page says this under events:

Saturday, September 12 at 8:30 am until
Sunday, September 13 at 5:00 pm
