Beauty Conferences in Orlando

Orlando offers two very focused beauty conferences, one for dermatology and aesthetics professionals in winter and one for the whole salon industry in early summer.

Each January, the ODAC Dermatology Conference meets at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, a resort setting southwest of the city, for education in aesthetic, clinical and surgical dermatology. It suits clinicians and aesthetic practitioners who want concentrated learning in a calm setting. In June, Premiere Orlando Beauty Show at the Orange County Convention Center brings conference sessions together with hands on education, competitions and a trade floor, covering hair, barbering, nails, makeup, skin, lashes and spa. It is a strong choice for salon owners and teams who want business and technical learning in one trip, with the NAHA awards adding a special evening.

Both conferences are listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, and our nearby pages cover more conferences across the USA.

Getting there

Orlando International Airport is the gateway for both events. The convention center is on International Drive, a short drive from the airport, while ChampionsGate sits southwest of the city, so a car or transfer is useful for ODAC.

Where to stay

ODAC delegates usually stay at the Omni resort, which keeps sessions, meals and evening events close. For Premiere Orlando, hotels along International Drive are near the West Concourse, and the I-Ride Trolley links much of the area.

Conference tips

• Premiere Orlando is trade only, so bring your licence or student ID.
• Book Premiere classes as soon as the programme opens.
• For ODAC, check whether your sessions carry continuing education credits for your role.
