About Skincare and Esthetics Events in the USA
Skincare and esthetics events in the USA give estheticians, skin therapists and spa teams a full year of learning, from small specialist gatherings to national shows with large skincare halls. Skin is one of the fastest moving parts of the industry, and these events are where new ingredients, devices and protocols are shown first.
The International Congress of Esthetics and Spa is a skincare favourite, with ICES Dallas at the Hilton Anatole in April, ICES Long Beach in August and the Philadelphia edition at the Pennsylvania Convention Center each September. Be+Well New York and Be+Well Florida bring esthetics floors to the Javits Center and Miami Beach, and The Skin Games in Texas each September mixes competitions, awards and education. For a quieter, more personal format, the Awaken Esthetics Retreat takes over Lied Lodge in Nebraska City each autumn, the International Sugaring Convention meets in Cleveland in August, and the Science of Skin Summit in Austin closes the year with a focus on skin science.
Every skincare and esthetics event in the USA is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can choose your next event with confidence.

Plan your trip
Getting around
Skincare events are spread widely, so most visitors fly in. The ICES shows use central venues in Dallas, Long Beach and Philadelphia, and the Pennsylvania Convention Center is right in the city centre beside Reading Terminal Market. Long Beach Convention Center is by the waterfront, with Long Beach Airport close by and LAX a longer drive. For the Awaken Esthetics Retreat, Nebraska City is a drive from Omaha's Eppley Airfield.
Where to stay
For hotel based events such as ICES Dallas at the Hilton Anatole or the Science of Skin Summit at Fairmont Austin, staying at the venue is simplest. For Philadelphia, Center City hotels are within walking distance of the convention center, and in Long Beach the downtown waterfront hotels sit next to the halls.
Tips for skincare events
- Bring your esthetics licence, as many events are trade only.
- Plan time for live demos on the show floor, where brands show their protocols on real skin.
- Take notes on ingredients and devices so you can compare suppliers after the event.
- Check for continuing education hours, which many esthetics classes offer.
