Beauty Conferences in New York

New York's beauty conferences bring together a mix of education, business and medical learning, with programmes held at the Javits Center in Manhattan and in conference venues just across the river in New Jersey.

Be+Well New York is the headline each March, combining the IECSC and IBS programmes at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center with conference sessions across hair, skin, nails, lashes, makeup and spa. Barbers have their own conference and competition day at The HEBS Barber Games in Secaucus each May. In September, MakeUp in NewYork returns to the Javits Center with conference talks for makeup and skincare brand teams, product developers and buyers. For those in medical aesthetics, the New Frontiers in Cosmetic Medicine and Medical Dermatology Symposium in Hasbrouck Heights offers clinical education each November.

Every beauty conference in New York is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can choose the programme that suits your work.

Getting to the Javits Center

The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is on Manhattan's west side, a short walk from the 34 St Hudson Yards station at the end of the 7 line. From JFK or LaGuardia, a taxi or rideshare is the simplest option, and Newark is also within reach by train into Penn Station.

New Jersey venues

The Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus and the Hilton in Hasbrouck Heights are both close to the Meadowlands, and Newark is the nearest airport. A car or rideshare is the easiest way to reach them.

Where to stay

Hudson Yards, Midtown West and the area around Penn Station suit the Javits Center. For the symposium, the host hotel is the natural choice.
