The Business of Fashion has announced the early speaker lineup for The Business of Beauty Global Forum. The inaugural annual gathering will bring together executives, entrepreneurs, and creatives from across the industry to reimagine the global beauty and wellness landscape.
From beauty brands like Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Skin, and Scarlett Johansson’s The Outset to emerging topics around the global beauty industry, it is more essential now than ever to ensure more people are enlightened about the industry. One such effort is The Business of Beauty Global Forum. The forum is organized by The Business of Fashion, a fashion publication recognized around the world for its authoritative, analytical point of view on the $2.5 trillion global fashion industry.
From May 30 to June 1 at Stanly Ranch in Napa Valley, California the panel will unlock the necessary essential learnings and collaboration to challenge conventional thinking, inspire innovation and reimagine the future of the global beauty industry. Similar to the BoF VOICES gathering that was held last month, the forum promises to be an insightful one for creatives who want to explore the world of the beauty business, or owners of existing beauty brands with the desire to upscale.
From the worlds of activism, business, entertainment, politics, finance, science, and of course, beauty and wellness, the stellar roster of experts will dissect the beauty industry and offer usable insights.
