  • Translate global hard trends into beauty trends for new product development
  • Engage and connect with consumers in new markets through social media and web communities
  • Accelerate innovation in new markets through external partnerships
  • Understand how the future of retailing will impact product formulation and design
  • Improve customer loyalty through digital campaigns

This European summit will bring together senior executives from the cosmetics and personal care industry to discuss key issues on front-end innovation, new product development and high-growth markets.
To maximise knowledge exchange and to generate actionable results, we have carefully designed the conference format to be interactive, “hands-on” and productive. This includes keynote presentations, panel discussions and a “hands-on” brainstorming workshop session.
