Jessica Turner With record-breaking attendance last year, Cosmoprof Asia returns to Hong Kong in November 2017. The 22nd edition of the beauty industry mega-tradeshow will be spread over two venues.
Between the 14th-16th of November, show-goers are invited to the AsiaWorld-Expo venue for the Cosmopack cosmetic packaging extravaganza, while doors to the main event at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre are open from the 15th-17th.
A powerful networking opportunity for aesthetics professionals, last year it attracted 76,818 visitors from 129 countries and 2698 exhibitors traveled from far and wide to peddle their wares. But this year is tipped to be the biggest yet.
“We were inspired by the innovative products and services on display and the high calibre of our exhibitors once again drew in buyers from all around the world,” says Alice Suen, Cosmoprof Asia Event Director. “We look forward to an even more important event this year.”
Here’s a taste of what’s in store:
@ Cosmopack – Cosmetic Packaging Exhibition
The packaging, ingredient and supply chain showcase will be held exclusively at AsiaWorld-Expo. It will be an exhibition of raw materials, private label lines, manufacturers, machinery and every aspect of cosmetic packaging imaginable.
“We aim to reinforce the brand identity of the entire supply chain and create new business opportunities for our customers”, says Enrico Zannini, Director of Cosmoprof Worldwide.
Ingredients & Lab
A section at the Cosmopack Asia will be dedicated to ingredients, fragrances, testing lab equipment and regulatory solutions. It aims to be a networking and sourcing platform for formulators, R&D personnel, business development and marketing professionals.
Print & Label
The Cosmopack fair promises a sectioned area to showcase decorative packaging and labels. Featured marketing initiatives will be organised with the focus on new concepts, designs and innovative technologies that aligned to the entire supply chain.
The Powder Factory
Attendees at Cosmopack can also enjoy a live demonstration of the manufacturing process of a cosmetic powder with the collaboration of leading international suppliers.
@ Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre
The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre will host exhibitors of finished products ranging from cosmetics & toiletries, natural & organic, beauty salon, hair salon and nail and accessories.
Spotlight On Trends
Innovative brands and cutting-edge products will appear as a line up of hot trends in the “natural and organic” category. There will be an abundance of all things eco-friendly, Halal-friendly and wellness-focused.
The Cosmoprof Awards
A jury comprising international beauty experts, bloggers and top beauty brands will select the winners for the most outstanding accomplishments in beauty. They recognise achievements in packaging, design and formulation and celebrate the most impressive finished products.
