Questex’s International Esthetics, Cosmetics, & Spa Conference (IECSC New York) and International Beauty Show (IBS New York) return to the Javits Convention Center March 3-5, 2024, co-locating to offer beauty and wellness professionals nearly 100,000 square feet of exhibit space, where hundreds of brands will be selling at professionals-only prices. IECSC and IBS are planning for unprecedented events in 2024, including expanded educational opportunities and new and revitalized onsite experiences. Plus, attendees can experience both shows at no additional cost, enabling them to walk both exhibit show floors, and attend any of the free classes at either event. “We are pleased to introduce fresh classes and experiences to this year’s co-located New York Shows, featuring our new Master Class education series, the What’s New for You Zone, and the Say Yes to You Hub,” says Elizabeth Fantetti Trevorrow, partnership and event director, Questex’s Beauty & Spa Group. “Our objective is to equip members of the beauty and wellness communities with the necessary tools and support for success. Whether it's access to top-tier education and instructors, cutting-edge products and techniques, or competitive prices on client essentials, our shows are crafted to elevate attendees and foster their professional growth.”
Expanded Educational Offerings
IECSC NY will have its curated Conference Education — a diverse range of paid classes featuring speakers with unique expertise, all aimed at providing the essential knowledge and insights to elevate and grow businesses, as well as the free Product Focused Education offerings — informative sessions and workshops led by top exhibitors and offering a deep dive into a specific product or service. All attendees from either event may participate in product focused sessions for no additional fee.
Plus, all attendees from either IECSC or IBS are welcome to take part in over 100 demonstration classes that are included free with the Exhibit Hall pass.
