Starting next year, IMATS is switching its Los Angeles and London shows! IMATS Los Angeles 2013 will be held Jan.18-20; IMATS London 2013 will be held June 21-23. Additionally, IMATS London 2013 is returning to Central London-it will be held at the Olympia National Hall Kensington.
This change comes about, in part, because of exhibitor and attendee requests to have the London show during a warmer and less snowy time of year and closer to central London. Each show will still have the same great quality you can expect from IMATS.
Tickets for IMATS Los Angeles and London 2013 will be on sale starting Monday, June 25 at makeupmag.com/imats.

Taken from the http://www.imats.net site. As you all know I love these shows and I’m soo happy they decided to switch the dates. Last time I was in London, temperatures were way below freezing and we were wading knee-deep in snow. And because London is more than just IMATS obviously, I am looking forward to enjoying both the show and the city in the summer next year!
The change of venue, closer to the city is also a vast improvement!
Yay for IMATS!
Make sure to get your pro cards well in advance and take advantage of the pro-only hours. I enjoyed quiet shopping and networking last time. So much more relaxed than trying to beat the crowds at the counters.
Hope to see you all there!
