In just over a week we welcome the return of Australia’s premier professional beauty event to Darling Harbour at the new International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney.
Beauty Expo Australia, which takes place Saturday 26-Sunday 27 August, will have a 40 percent increase in floor space from the 2016 event, meaning more exhibitors with more products for the beauty industry to see, sample, and shop.
This year, Beauty Expo will be highlighting the brands that are proudly Australian-owned and made. Attendees who are interested in incorporating local brands and locally made products into their businesses can look for this graphic (left) on the show floor.
In addition to the proudly Australian tag, Beauty Expo will be highlighting the products and brands that are proudly natural (looks out for the graphic at right), in keeping with a growing consumer preference for products and treatments that are not only free of unnecessary chemicals and additives, but are ethically responsible, environmentally friendly and cruelty-free.
Attendees who are interested in finding out more about these brands and products can look for the following graphic displayed in the event guide and on exhibitors’ stands at the event:
