'Beauty Better'
Beauty Accelerate 2022 is built on the theme "Beauty Better," reflecting the industry's transformational moment.
Today, mindful and wellness-centric consumer values, paired with sustainable breakthroughs, clean and natural technical advancements, and disruptive retail and supply chain realities, have pushed the industry to an inflection point.
With shifts occurring at breakneck speed, R&D, marketing and management teams need the best data, insights, tools and partnerships to innovate and thrive. That’s why Beauty Accelerate 2022 will assemble thought leaders at every point in the process, from ideation and development to consumer engagement and retail, to help brands thrive in the new normal.
"Beauty is becoming more digital, more sustainable, more complex, more holistic, and, most of all, more competitive," says Jeb Gleason-Allured, content director of Global Cosmetic Industry magazine and co-program director of Beauty Accelerate. "To give R&D and brand innovators the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly complex market, Beauty Accelerate 2022 will connect the dots among emerging R&D advances, market and retail trends, and supply chain innovations through a series of newsmaker panels, data/analytics presentations, interactive educational talks and networking opportunities featuring some of the industry’s leading lights. Attendees will come away with the tools and connections they need to take their brands to the next level."
"Cosmetic product development has become more deliberate," says Rachel Grabenhofer, managing scientific editor of Cosmetics & Toiletries and program co-director of Beauty Accelerate. "Technologies have evolved to support better-informed decisions throughout the process—from understanding the impact of ingredient sourcing and processing; and the user's interactions with products; to the final destination of packaging and products in the environment. Each step is a touchpoint to become more thoughtful and responsible—to make beauty better. We will explore these various facets at this year's Beauty Accelerate."
