Spend a day with the people redefining what sustainable beauty actually means, beyond the marketing language. Panel discussions, keynotes from Chemyunion and Evonik, and a conversation with an astronaut on what sustainability looks like when your supply chain is a spacecraft.

Featured voices include Annie Jackson, Mia Davis, Lindsay Dahl, and Maggie Spicer, with more speakers to be announced. Expect real talk on biotech beauty, waterless systems, advanced preservation, greenwashing, regulatory shifts, and the tradeoffs between performance and planet.

Then connect directly with 24 suppliers through speed-networking rounds built for actual conversations, not booth small talk.

The day wraps at the Apollo/Saturn V Center for cocktails and dinner under a real Saturn V rocket, thanks to our cocktail sponsor, Croda, and dinner sponsor, Mibelle. If we're talking about the future of beauty, the setting should match the ambition.

Included with your ticket: full-day programming, lunch, supplier networking, cocktail hour, dinner at Apollo/Saturn V, and a thoughtfully curated swag bag.

Warning: Seats are EXTREMELY limited. This venue caps attendance, and we're already taking names for the waitlist. If you want in, register now, not later.

Completely sold out on the Sponsor slots! Sorry!
