Discovery Spotlight has been providing aspiring models, actors, singers and dancers exposure to some of the most influential agents, recruiters and casting directors in the entertainment industry since 2006, but the event is much more than just a model and talent showcase. Beyond the training workshops and networking with show business professionals, the event is structured to teach assertiveness and independence, build confidence and self-worth, and stress the importance of preparedness and hard work. The expo also urges participants to express themselves with conviction and to never be embarrassed by who they are.
