THE ARTIST SUMMIT

The Artist Summit is two day artist program for the professional makeup artist and those who share their passion for the art of makeup. The program consists of two days of artist events including seminars, hands-on workshops, panel forums and The Summit Shop - a retail environment at the event. An opening event on the evening of the first day of the Summit will also be a part of the program. Over the two days of the event attendees will have access to over 70 seminars and forums and 16 hands-on workshops.
THE SUMMIT SHOP

The Summit Shop is a retail environment that will be located within the space of The Artist Summit. The shop is not a “trade show floor”. The environment will be set up with a consistent tabling and draping for all sponsors who are a part of the environment. The space will not be designed to allow for full booth installations, however custom tabletop signage and floor signage is encouraged.
Demonstrations may happen behind counter space or one demo per every 12 feet of counter space on the outside of the counter area.
The Summit Shop will open 30 minutes prior to the first event each day and closing 30 minutes after the last event of each day ends. The general pro-public will be invited to come and experience The Summit Shop without a requirement to participate in the Summit.
*There will be no charge to enter The Summit Shop for attendees or non-attendees of The Summit.
WHEN & WHERE

Program to launch October 12 and 13, 2008 in New York City at Metropolitan Pavilion on the Gallery (4th) and Level (5th) floors.
Los Angeles, Vancouver, Chicago, Toronto and Atlanta are being considered as additional event sites for 2009. International sessions are being considered for Sydney, Berlin and London.

ATTENDEE PARTICIPATION

Although we will promote The Artist Summit to the pro-artist industry exclusively, we will not limit participation to working makeup artists. Our goal is to create an event that will celebrate the art of makeup and encourage people to come and experience all that it offers - regardless of their level of knowledge of makeup artistry.
We will allow pros and consumers, as well as students and those considering a career in makeup to participate. Hands-on Workshops are limited to professionals or those with some makeup experience.
There are three ways that attendees can take part in The Artist Summit.
SHOP THE SUMMIT SHOP
No Charge/Open to Pros and Consumers
Attendees are not required to pay any fee to come and shop in The Summit Shop. Although we are promoting the event to the pro-market, and as a pro-event, we will not require pro-identification to come to The Summit Shop. Vendors are encouraged to require pro-identification before offering discounting to shoppers.

I'll probably go, but only just to see what, if any, discounts there will be at the shop. I have already told myself that I won't be buying anything full price that I can get outside of the summit. But if there are discounts... watch out!

I'm going on Monday...and I'm sooo excited! I think that Sunday had some great classes but I couldn't get off that day. Either way, the classes I'm taking are:

Editorial Beauty
Red-Carpet Beautiful
Branding You
Mastering Retail
Makeup for Women of Color
MAC Close-Up with Bianca Alexander

Too bad that some of the classes will overlap...but I'm going to really try to make it to all of them. What classes are you taking?

I just got back from the summit shop. I didn't attend any of the workshops, but I did see Johnny Lavoy giving a workshop as I was on my way to the ladies room...

The shop was okay. I didn't see anything that I HAD to have. Stila, MUFE, Eve Pearl, Billy B. were some of the folks that had tables. I looked around a bit, bought some fabulous brushes from Crown brushes and then bought some blushes at the MAC store over by Madison Square park and then went on home.

I was surprised MAC wasn't at the summit.

Did any of the vendors have professional discounts such as MUFE?

If so what kind of discounts were offered.

I believe they did offer discounts, but since I'm not a professional, I don't know what the discounts were.
