About Us
The Model Expo was created in 1989 by world famous model scout, Dwight Agnor. Dwight Agnor has discovered and started the careers of more models than any other scout in history.
Often imitated, but never duplicated The Model Expo is the first, the original and the only model search convention that charges no fees of any kind.
Our goal is to discover and place more models with more top model agencies than all of the other model searches out there combined.
If you, or someone you know is interested in a career in modeling, come meet us face to face at a free model interview location near you. If you’ve got a special look, we’re looking for you!
