IMATS NYC April 2013

[Susanjoydesign]

There are plenty of hotels in NYC to pick from just shop around. Last year I was a vendor and I stayed on the Jersey side. There is a frerry that cost $2.50 each way and takes you to the Pier. It's a water taxi.

Ink48 is the closest hotel according to several maps (including Google).

I stayed at Ink48 last IMATS, it was amazing. One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in!

Did you ladies see that the two day and the Saturday imat tickets are sold out?!

Does not surprise me. IMATS NYC is suppose to be as popular as IMATS LA.

You'll want to hit that early because if the NYC show is anything like LA there will be a line wrapped around their booth.

I think my friend and I will be traveling the furthest to attend IMATS NY...we are coming from Georgia! It's a long way to go for a trade show, but unfortunately there isn't a closer option (maybe The Makeup Show in Orlando). We are splitting the cost of our room, but it was somewhat pricey (2 nights will cost us about $220 each person plus tax...about $252). We ended up getting a room relatively close to where IMATS is being held with a Hilton hotel just for convenience sake. I've been trying to research what to expect when attending IMATS such as how early should we arrive (not sure if people are lined up hours before registration begins or if you can arrive maybe 30 minutes early and not be stuck in a line that wraps around the building) and trying to figure out what booths to hit first due to popularity. I know Inglot is one that I want to visit because I have never tried their products, but have been dying to!

If you arrive the day before pick up your passes then as it'll be easier then trying to pick them up the day of. If you don't have tickets to it NOW you're out of luck getting in because it's SOLD OUT.

Know the floor plan. Unlike IMATS LA, NYC is a little more streamlined however the floor plan at NY maybe more crowded.

Good to know that we can pick up our passes the day before! We fly in early Friday morning so if we can pick them up on Friday that would be perfect! Luckily, we purchased them about a month ago...I had a feeling it would sell out and I didn't want to risk it.
