The summit commences in APAC with three enlightening sessions: delve into next-gen skin care opportunities, explore next-gen colour innovation, and decipher the intricacies of the next-gen Asian consumer.

Continuing our global voyage, the Europe broadcast will address next-gen beauty microbiome opportunities, dissect next-gen circular beauty innovation, and engage in a discussion on the revelations of the next-gen European skin care consumer.

Concluding our digital summit, the North America broadcast will venture into the realms of next-gen hair care innovation, unravel opportunities in next-gen beauty from within, and spotlight emerging trends in ingredient sustainability.

Ultimately, the summit is dedicated to demystifying the new consumer's perceptions and expectations, all while anticipating the industry's most significant opportunities and challenges on the horizon.
