SEPHORiA is a free, interactive beauty “house” with multiple rooms to explore, full of exclusive content from some of Sephora’s most-loved brands, beauty icons and surprise guests.
This year’s event includes new programming that celebrates diversity, fosters inclusivity and highlights Sephora’s product assortment.
“Following a successful virtual event last year, we are thrilled to bring SEPHORiA back again this year to even more visitors from around the globe,” says Jessica Stacey, SVP external communications + experiential marketing at Sephora. “Not only will this year’s event reach the US, Canada, France, Spain and Italy, but we also have enhanced experiences to ensure SEPHORiA is the most interactive, and inclusive virtual event for the Sephora community, with unparalleled access to exclusive content, founders, product sneak-peeks and engaging gamification. We look forward to welcoming clients back into the (virtual) world of SEPHORiA and know they will be surprised to see what we have planned.”
This year’s event features the following seven virtual rooms:
- The Foyer: A greeting area and central hub for attendees that offers helpful resources, complete with a 3D map and events schedule, a concierge desk with Beauty Insider information and registration, a prize booth with details on point-earn opportunities and a reveal of the exclusive Proof of Attendance Protocol (P.O.A.P) that can be claimed upon entry.
- Home Theater: The main stage where attendees can learn about Sephora’s hottest products and brands by exploring exclusive masterclasses and interacting with talent using the new live-chat feature. This space will offer shoppable touchpoints and the ability to participate in interactive games.
