Modeling conventions are considered by many people to be a ripoff because they charge a lot of money but cannot guarantee that the people that attend will go on to become successful in the modeling industry or get signed to an agency.
Modeling conventions exist to discover new talent, provide networking opportunities and allow aspiring models, actors and singers to meet with agencies, casting directors and other people in the entertainment industry. Such conventions also provide training classes to prep aspiring talent for finding representation, however, it is important to note that attending such conventions is not the only way to start a modeling or acting career.
Ripoff Report was created in 1998.
Not sure exactly what you are asking but there is such a thing as promotional modeling, which deals with working at company tradeshows, conventions, etc. As far as if there are people that promote the profession of modeling, the answer is yes and no. Agencies sometimes advertise when they are looking for new faces, while shows like America's Next Top Model bring public attention to the modeling industry.
The Ripoff Report website was founded by Ed Magedson. The Ripoff Report allows users to review and give their opinions on products that they have tried. The Ripoff Report has been in business since 1998.
