Most extensive education programme yet at the event

The organisers of in-cosmetics Asia have announced the most extensive education programme in the exhibition’s history. The event, taking place in Bangkok from the 2-4 November 2011, will feature over 50 seminars and demonstrations led by some of the industry’s most distinguished experts.

Three main components make up the free programme – the Marketing Trends Programme, The Innovation Seminars and the Innovation Zone. The aim is to provide attendees with exclusive, insightful information on the personal care ingredients industry, which can innovate and drive business.

Cathy Laporte, group marketing manager for in-cosmetics Asia, explains: “The free education programme has always been one of our most important features at the show. By providing participants with direct exposure to leading industry organisations and figures, the programme helps attendees to stay on top of sector developments. This year we have a broad range of speakers from across the globe discussing the very latest trends and we are all confident that the resources available will be more valuable than ever before.”

Marketing Trends Programme

The Marketing Trends programme is an extensive series of seminars in which industry and brand experts analyse the latest developments in the market. Tailored to the personal care market and delivering detailed facts, figures and case studies in a series of key presentations, the seminars are aimed at inspiring original and innovative marketing campaigns.

Companies already signed up to showcase their products include Arch Personal Care Products, Ashland, Bioland, Dow Chemical, Mibelle and Seiwa Kasei. A number of exhibitors will demonstrate their products in a series of 30-minute informative sessions, providing a unique learning opportunity for visitors to understand how they could be used in their formulations.

An interactive display entitled Beauty and the Elements, by Mintel Beauty Innovation, will offer visitors the opportunity to touch, feel and try the latest beauty products incorporating oxygen, carbon, water and other earthly elements as ingredients. Daily demonstrations will take place between 11:00-11:30 and 15:00-15:30.
