“We saw the lack of intimate events where attendees can fully discuss the real-world challenges facing mass beauty, therefore, we launched Inside Beauty last year with participation from Walmart, Walgreens and CVS and it was a tremendous success. This year we are expanding the scope to include Wellness, which will offer attendees additional content and opportunities,” said John Kenlon, Senior Vice President/Publisher of DSN. “We will have more retailers, social media brands and thought leaders, as well as a broader educational track and expanded networking opportunities. And attendees will gain valuable actionable information that they can bring back to their organizations and integrate in their beauty and wellness business.”
The Inside Beauty & Wellness Forum will focus on how retailers are leveraging synergies between beauty, health & wellness to drive trips, improve the customer experience, increase revenue and enhance their position as a trusted destination for holistic well-being.
The forum will convene with a cocktail and networking reception on September 11 at the Virgin Hotels NYC, followed by a full day of programming on September 12 and a Networking Happy Hour.
