Congratulations and Thank You to all of the Talent who attended the June 2008 Summer Model and Talent Expo, for helping us to win this amazing award of Overall Agency of the Year, and also 2nd runner up in the Troupe Competition. The Model and Talent Expo presented by Mike Beaty is an educational and career-building event like none other for people interested in the modeling and performing arts fields. The Expo is designed to allow aspiring models, actors, singers and dancers to showcase their abilities in front of some of the world's most prominent agents, managers, casting directors, recording labels and clients.
