Over the 2nd-3rd March 2022, we hosted our second virtual tradeshow event, Meet-Your-Match.
Our two-day event was filled with insightful panel talks, covering trending topics such as 'The future of conscious beauty' and 'The explosion of sensorial self-care,' and we were joined by speakers that included brand founders, retailers, beauty journalists and experts.
We also held interactive strategy workshops for our attendees, hosted by some of the industry's best, on themes to help boost small businesses - from PR 101 for startups, to how to build the best marketing strategy and more.
We partnered with TreePoints as our charitable partner for our event, who planted a tree for every attendee. TreePoints makes it easy for everybody to fight climate change. They support climate projects that include tree planting, plastic recycling and carbon reduction.
