Questex’s International Esthetics, Cosmetics & Spa Conference (IECSC) and International Beauty Show (IBS) Las Vegas drew thousands of beauty and spa professionals to the Las Vegas Convention Center for three days of education, exhibits, and networking from June 25-27, 2022, to grow the co-located events by 30 percent over 2021. “Our co-located Las Vegas shows provide an exhilarating platform for beauty and spa professionals to connect with the brands they love and showcase new products for them to consider,” says Elizabeth Fantetti, event and partnership director at Questex Wellness Group. “There’s truly no replacement for face-to-face interactions and we provided a jam-packed agenda consisting of premiere education, product demonstrations, a lively and interactive show floor plus two sold-out evening events! We look forward to bringing the industry together again next year.”
Exhibitors showcased their newest products, latest techniques, and invaluable in‐booth demonstrations by top artists in the industry, through a combined mega floor which was more than 130,000 square feet. Attendees had the opportunity to shop for products for their salons and spas at professionals‐only pricing and to network with industry leaders.
