Welcome to the iPOP! Modeling and Talent Convention where the stars of tomorrow are discovered today.

Showcasing the Future

Yes, iPOP! week is exciting and glamorous, but it’s also a week of learning and performing. It is an intensive week focusing on the crafts needed to succeed in the entertainment industry. Following registration, iPOP! week kicked off with the iPOP! Showcase auditions for actors, dancers, models, and singers under the professional guidance of model, actress, and best-selling author Suzanne Von Schaack.

iPopping Presentation

The iPOP! opening pep rally turned up the high energy voltage early the next morning as hundreds of fresh-faced talent and families filled the ballroom, putting the “POP” into the iPOP! experience. With excitement abounding, the talent dispersed to begin a day of separate networking while attending bootcamps for models, singers, actors and dancers. These are no ordinary bootcamps! They are hosted by some of the biggest names in the industry who impart their knowledge of what it truly takes to succeed, whether it be on stage, in front of a camera for the big or small screen or walking the runways of the world’s fashion capitals. It’s a day filled with the ins and outs of the industry. How to audition, what to expect during an audition, the differences between managers and agents, how to build a portfolio, it’s all provided by the experts at iPOP!

Runway Ready

Mid-week arrived to more bootcamps and competitions. In addition to learning, agents and scouts attended competitions for Soap and Voiceover. By afternoon, everyone was ready to hit the stage for the highly anticipated Runway competitions. As the star-making agents and scouts lined the runway, in a surprise appearance, Pageantry magazine CEO Carl Dunn bounded onto the iPOP! stage to keep the energy popping and introduce the beautiful talent who may soon grace the runways of the world. As proclaimed by Mr. Dunn, “From the first model to the last, I want to hear thunderous applause for each model who is walking the runway for you!” Then after all the models had taken their “catwalk,” the attendees were showcased in the final Performers Overview as they each took their turn in the spotlight. Closing the night would be more rehearsals for the iPOP! Showcase.
