What’s New?
The 18th edition of Cosmoprof North America will be introducing new initiatives including a special area dedicated to CBD Beauty, new partnership with Ready to Beauty and a mentorship program from leading industry experts. The new CBD Beauty sector will be an all-inclusive special area on the show floor curated for beauty brands that have CBD as an essential ingredient in their entire product line and the suppliers that cater to them.
As part of Cosmoprof North America’s ongoing commitment to help multicultural beauty entrepreneurs and brands, the award-winning event is excited to collaborate with Ready to Beauty on “READINESS is the NEW GREEN: An Economic Data Study on the Business of Multicultural Beauty in America,” a first-of-its-kind economic data study focused on multicultural beauty. As an extension of this data study and a direct result of responses from it, READY to BEAUTY, along with Cosmoprof North America, is announcing the formation of a soon-to-launch national #BankBlack banking and finance program to specifically support niche & emerging Black/African American beauty entrepreneurs and brands.
To bridge the gap and establish community within the beauty industry, Cosmoprof North America has also created a Mentorship Program to help promising beauty brands’ dreams come to fruition. This program offers exhibitors the unique opportunity to have 20-minute one-on-one mentoring sessions with founders, CEOs, and executives bringing with them decades of experience. Mentors will be providing guidance in the following areas, essential to successfully running your beauty business: retail & distribution, branding, funding, exporting, digital marketing & performance, SEO, social media, press, trends, and the multicultural market.
