Spa+Clinic Team Our premier event for aesthetics professionals is preparing for its best year yet as it returns to its Darling Harbour home in Sydney’s new International Convention Centre (ICC) the weekend of August 26-27.
It’s the largest gathering of brands and suppliers in the Australian aesthetics industry, as well as inspiring visitors with creative education and live demonstrations.
“True to its calling, Beauty Expo Australia will once again be the unmatched hub to explore the latest trends and innovations in the industry,” says Event Director Julia Erben.
“We know how important it is to our visitors that Beauty Expo creates a seamless, enjoyable experience, which is why we are thrilled to be back in Darling Harbour this year at a world-class venue.
“We know our exhibitors are also very excited to be where all the action is, just a stone’s throw from Sydney’s CBD.”
If you want to be confident that you’re ahead of the trends and stocking the right brands, you need to be at Expo, where you can source and experience the latest beauty products, treatments, innovations and equipment.
Shopping around gives you confidence in the brands you already work with or encourages you to swap if you’re not.
