Cosmoprof Asia 2009 Set for November
Integrative networking and educational programme highlights this year’s event
11 Aug 2009 — This year celebrating its 14th edition, Cosmoprof Asia has long been heralded as the region’s leading beauty, health and wellness exhibition. The statistics speak for themselves: 1,300 exhibitors forecast for 2009, representing 36 countries (including 17 country and group pavilions from Australia, Mainland China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, UK and USA), and 39,000 visitors expected from around the world.
The Fair will be hosted at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre from 11 to 13 November. All exhibits will be organised into five easy-to-locate sectors, namely, “Retail-Distribution” for perfumery, cosmetics and toiletries, “Natural Health” for health food & beverages, “Packaging” including raw materials, machinery and private labels, “Beauty Salon” and “Hair Salon” for their respective specialised and professional products and equipment.
Apart from the comprehensive exhibits scope, a full programme of networking and education events will also be offered at this year’s event. “It is paramount to keep abreast of the latest developments, progress and happenings to stay on top in these challenging economic times. Therefore we partnered with key players of the cosmetic industry and influential media representatives to present innovative ideas, solutions and analysis of this industry through a rich calendar of side events,” said Laura Zaccagnini, International Strategy Manager of Cosmoprof Asia.
Key events in-line with the exhibition include the Cosmoprof Asia Spa Conference, which is developed together with AsiaSpa Magazine, the region’s leading spa, wellbeing and travel lifestyle magazine. As the official media partner of the Spa Conference, AsiaSpa Magazine will gather a panel of industry insiders to discuss various issues faced by the industry and ways to move towards greater success in the future. “We are proud to be the official media partner for the Cosmoprof Asia Spa Conference. With our expertise in the spa field and the professional organisation of Cosmoprof Asia team, we are aiming to provide people in the spa industry -therapists, hoteliers and beauticians - a full-day, high calibre and insightful conference chaired by leading minds from the spa world,” said Olivier Burlot, Managing Director of AsiaSpa Magazine.
The first BaByliss PRO Asian hair competition, BaByliss PRO on Stage, will also be held in Hong Kong this year. Cosmoprof Asia is proud to be selected to host this event. At this final stop of the BaByliss Pro Asian tour, winners from local country competitions like Mainland China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand will vie for the top place in styling creativity and talent. Jim Roberts, Show and Education Director from RUSK, has been invited to judge the competition and present the latest styling techniques. This will be a truly inspirational and educational experience for all those present!
Cosmoprof Asia will facilitate business contacts thorough the 3rd International Buyer Programme. Once again, exhibitors will be given the opportunity to meet with selected key buyers from strategic growth markets around the globe. For this edition, the Organiser has picked Mainland China, India and Russia as the main focus. Through this special initiative, Cosmoprof Asia is committed to unite buyers and sellers from around the world with resources, contacts and data to create business.
