The exhibition equally hosted 12 seminars and a unique one-day intensive workshop for up-and-coming beauty entrepreneurs, which sold-out. 

Finally, other notable highlights of the show included Boutique, the onsite sampling bar featuring deluxe-sized samples from 20 brands with proceeds donated to Strength In Beauty, as well as the Press Zone, which connected exhibitors with influencers and press from leading publications.
