Main Event Image

In beauty, what used to be regarded as trends, are now table-stakes. Threads like clean beauty, inclusive products and digital-first strategies are now the guiding principles behind brands rather than afterthoughts. But determining what comes next will be the make-it or break-it moment for companies that seek to define the new era of the beauty industry. This includes one-on-one communications with customers, the next mega-platforms of discovery, sustainability and customer values.

At the Glossy Beauty Forum LIVE, executives, content creators and founders from the industry’s leading beauty brands will discuss how their companies are seizing this moment to make a statement, push action and adapt to the changing face of the beauty industry.

    Carving a New Path for Inclusion

    The arc of the history of the world bends toward justice, but it is up to everyone to act as a custodian to ensure that trajectory. As one of the largest consumer-facing industries, and one that directly speaks to people on the topics of beauty, self-esteem, and wellness, the beauty industry must play a stronger role in promoting diversity and inclusion. One beauty executive will talk about what consumers expect today and how companies must step up.
