Hey hey actors! Next weekend is the annual Actors Pro Expo NYC and you should definitely be there! This a great opportunity for actors to network and learn new tips and it’s FREE!
What is Actors Pro Expo?
Actors Pro Expo NYC was set up by actors for actors to help and encourage them in all areas of their lives as professionals. This incredible company runs expos throughout the year in the United States and in the U.K. In the U.K. the expos are run by Actors Pro Expo’s parent company, Surviving Actors. The expos help actors develop and sustain their careers and help them to create new opportunities for themselves. It does this by designing an environment where actors can meet industry professionals to help develop their career in acting.
What’s Happening on April 29th?
This year will be the 4th annual event in NYC! This is a day for professional actors to come along and network with people in the industry. There are several great events including Seminars, Workshops, 1-2-1 careers advice consultations.
