WHY INVESTORS ATTEND

The insight and access to back the right brands.

From the Emerging Brand Spotlight to The Modern Investment Playbook and the Deal Structure Debate, the programme gives investors the insight and access they need across all three days. Sessions go deep on what sustainable margins look like, how to read operational signals, and where beauty capital is moving.

Sharpen your due diligence on operational signals

The gap between a compelling brand story and a fundable business usually shows up in the ops. These sessions give you the framework to read it earlier.

  • Clinical is Commercial
  • What Sustainable Margins Really Look Like

The Emerging Brand Spotlight is a structured showcase, not a networking coincidence. These are brands raising now or about to be.


  • Emerging Brand Spotlight
  • Investor Breakfast
  • 1-2-1 Curated Meetings

Understand where beauty capital is moving and why

  • The M&A Moment
  • Deal Structure Debate

Benchmark the fastest growing brands against ones that stall
