Beauty Connect LA 2026

TWO SALONS

Your full commercial & operational stack in one event.

For 2026, Beauty Connect introduces two dedicated salons, each built around a distinct set of priorities. Attend both, or go deep in the one that matters most to you. We've shaped the agenda for every stage of brand growth.

Find the pathway that's been designed for where you are right now.

Beauty Connect LA 2026

SALON 01

Brand, eCommerce & Retail Growth

The full commercial growth stack in one room. From brand strategy and creator partnerships to social commerce, retail media, and data-driven performance - this is where the platforms, tools, and partners driving beauty's next wave come to be seen.

Beauty Connect LA 2026

SALON 02

Product, Operations & Profitability

The operational side of scaling, done properly. AI, supply chain, formulation, finance, ESG, and margin optimisation. This is where leaders come to scale smarter, protect what they've built, and develop the operational credibility that investors and retailers are looking for.

EMERGING & START-UP

Get in front of the people who can change your trajectory.

The Pre-Day on October 28 is your starting point: hands-on workshops covering DTC conversion, community building, and what retail buyers are really looking for. Sessions like From Scroll to Sale and Built in the Lab, Proven at Retail go deep on early-stage commercial growth. The Emerging Brand Spotlight gives founders a dedicated moment to be seen by the investors and retailers in the room.

MID-SIZED & ESTABLISHED

Navigate complexity. Protect margin. Build the partnerships that sustain scale.

The Omnichannel Playbook and Building a Retention Engine get into the mechanics of sustainable growth. Profit Under Pressure and Owning Your Hero SKU speak to brands navigating a tougher commercial environment. The M&A Moment brings together founders and investors having the most important conversations in beauty right now.

STRATEGIC & MNC

Stay close to where the market is moving.

Commerce in China and Beauty Without Borders speak to the complexity of operating at a global scale. Clinical is Commercial and The M&A Moment reflect the priorities that matter most for large portfolios right now. The programme covers forecasting, legal and IP strategy, and organisational discipline at scale.

Every conversation has a reason to happen

1-2-1 Matchmaking

Informed, profiling-led scheduling so every meeting has a reason to happen. The part of Beauty Connect people keep coming back for.

Pre-Day Workshops

Hands-on sessions going deeper than a panel ever could. Six running across both salons on October 28.

10th Anniversary Awards

Celebrating the brands, founders, and partners defining the decade. Bigger than ever for 2026.
