Beauty Conferences 2027

Beauty conferences are where the industry goes to think, learn and plan ahead. From scientific congresses on aesthetic medicine to business summits for salon owners and conventions for lash, massage and spa professionals, they offer expert speakers, fresh research and valuable time with peers.

Aesthetics leads the 2027 conference year. IMCAS meets in Paris in January, AMWC in Cannes in April and The Aesthetic Meeting in Miami Beach the same month, with MEIDAM in Dubai and the Agora congress in Milan each October. Australia has a strong programme too, with COSMEDICON in Sydney in February, the Australian Aesthetics Symposium in Perth in May and the IFSCC Congress for cosmetic science in Perth in September. For spa and wellness, the ISPA Conference and Expo meets in Las Vegas in March, the Global Wellness Summit gathers in Phuket and the CIDESCO World Congress usually runs in late summer. Salon business has its own events, such as Serious Business in New Orleans and the Phorest Salon Owners Summit in Killarney, and big trade fairs including Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna add full conference stages.

Every beauty conference for 2027 is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can choose the programmes that matter most to you.

Planning your conference year

Most professionals choose one main congress in their specialism each year and add one business or leadership event. January to April is the peak for aesthetics, while spa, wellness and cosmetic science meetings are spread across the summer and autumn.

Choosing the right conference

• For medical aesthetics: IMCAS, AMWC, The Aesthetic Meeting and MEIDAM bring scientific sessions and live learning.
• For business growth: summits such as Serious Business and the Phorest Salon Owners Summit focus on leadership, marketing and team building.
• For spa and wellness: the ISPA Conference and Expo and the Global Wellness Summit connect spa leaders and wellness innovators.
• For specialists: look for events such as the Lash Boss Summit, the AMTA National Convention and the IFSCC Congress.

Attending a conference abroad

Register early for the best rates and secure a room at or near the venue. Check whether you need to show professional credentials, plan which sessions you want before you arrive, and keep time free for the networking events, where many of the best connections are made.
