Howard Berger: Keynote Speaker at IMATS in Vancouver

Begun in 1997 and held five times annually, the International Makeup Artist Trade Show (IMATS)

is the make-up world’s biggest gathering. Thousands of make-up artists, vendors and enthusiasts discuss, display and collect the best the industry has to offer. Make-up pros from fashion and film (including Oscar®, BAFTA and Saturn award winners) provide education and demonstrations at IMATS, and new products often debut there. IMATS also features a make-up museum and an Afterglow party, where trade-show guests can socialize.

Howard Berger, Oscar winner (LWW) and makeup artist for all 3 Narnia films, will be a keynote speaker at the 2010 IMATS in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada). According to NarniaFans.com, Berger may “talk a bit about working on the Narnia films, with the potential of talking about the advances made for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.”

Other keynote speakers are Eddie Malter (L’Oreal) and Charles Porlier (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Santa Clause 2, Jumanji). The event is scheduled for April 17-18. Click here for a complete list of speakers.
