“I expected high quality seminars, networking with top senior executives and advice on investment all of which were met and more. I would highly recommend this to any indie brand wanting exposure in front of the right people.”

Great meeting of minds in the dermatology, aesthetics, medical spa, and skincare space. The panel discussions were educational and insightful. Impressive roster of industry movers and shakers in attendance. Wonderful networking opportunity with senior level executives and decision-makers.

“[Beauty Connect] successfully drew together a well curated group of strategic buyers, acquisitive private equity firms, value added research firms, specialty investment banks and indie beauty brands in a format that allowed for attendees to build helpful relationships within the industry.”

Dermatological Beauty Connect was a great melting pot of companies, individuals, diverse perspectives, and valuable information leading to the advancement of the dermatologic beauty industry.

This was a beautifully targeted room of brands and investors who fully understand the power of professional skincare and services. The content was so curated and valuable. I met so many new people too, it wasn't the "same old faces"! Great job!

"Highly useful content – talks spanned from extremely technical discussions on formulation and particular ingredients, to more marketing/consumer focused discussions around brand and product positioning. A lot of great learnings and important discussions for this growing category!”

“A great event to collaborate and share insights on key topics facing the industry today.”

“Well if you’re a young company networking is your lifeblood, it’s everything, it’s your next source of capital, it’s your next retailer, it’s your next creative developer, so I think this is a great forum specifically for that purpose.” 

Dermatology Beauty Connect was an incredibly valuable event that delivered the latest trends in aesthetics in a format that was dynamic and purposeful. The quality and diversity of the content delivered throughout the event was impressive.

“I really enjoyed the experience: I met a lot of interesting people, listened to several very exciting speakers, learned about many outstanding upcoming brands.”

“This is a specialised summit, which I think brings a lot of added value to a lot more players so we can have deep talks within personalisation – discussing the challenges and realities of it in business.”

"There’s such a wealth of new start-up brands across all categories here today who are changing the shape of the beauty industry."

"It was good to connect to others who are also formulating in this space, to share knowledge, opinions and discuss common frustrations. Also, good to hear from leaders that are defining the strategies."

“I really enjoyed the experience: I met a lot of interesting people, listened to several very exciting speakers, learned about many outstanding upcoming brands.”

“We had a spectacular session on Personalization yesterday and were actually surprised with how many people engaged from different parts of the world, from Asia to North America, Europe and Africa. This only confirms there are really no boundaries of how far we can go in the digital world. With just over 480 people registering it was great to see that the average session duration was 51 minutes which shows attendees were really engaged from start to finish.”

“What a stimulating event! A really well curated set of speakers ranging end-to-end from commercial opportunity to scientific and technical capability and market execution. Some very insightful case studies. We also loved the session of new tech pitches – great stuff!”

“[Beauty Connect] is important to us, because it is the only vehicle in the market place today that is really identifying globally, the next generation of brands in today’s beauty world.”

"It’s about the intel, to learn about the companies we don’t know about and to trade intelligence with the people and see new visionaries in the beauty space."
