The 3 Key conferences for women in the beauty industry
This expo is known for being a cocktail of warm, ambitious, and vibrant people showcasing the best and most innovative in the beauty industry.
As far as networking goes, this is the right place to be. You have the chance to meet and greet female founders of successful brands, learn from your colleagues and competitors, and be inspired to take your business to the next level.
2. InterCHARM
While the U.S. may be your main market, you may also want to hear from experts from overseas — especially from a country like South Korea.
Statista lists South Korea as one of the top 10 beauty markets in the world. Their innovations have gained the attention of beauty influencers around the world, arguably boosting the popularity of products like mask packs and LED masks.
Unsurprisingly, the annual InterCHARM conference in South Korea draws in some of the best cosmetic brands from all over the globe. You can gain insights into the beauty market in general, as well as top marketing strategies. Of course, you also have the opportunity to partner with suppliers for your business back home.
The CIBE is as grand as they come. If you're looking to diversify your business with beauty products that are innovative and tech-inspired, this is the place for you.
Touted as the most prominent beauty expo in Asia, CIBE features live demonstrations, forums, and seminars, hosting more than 200,000 visitors from over 80 countries around the world. That translates to thousands of opportunities to learn from and make your mark on the who's who in beauty.
