Cosmoprof North America is set to make a vibrant return to the Miami Beach Convention Center from January 21 to 23, 2025.
Following the success of its inaugural event in 2024, this year’s show promises even more diverse networking opportunities than before.
Exhibitor Growth and Country Pavilions
Boasting a growth spurt, the upcoming exhibition will feature over 800 exhibitors hailing from 43 countries—an impressive 17% rise compared to last year.
The exhibition area has also seen a significant expansion, growing by more than 10% to enhance the attendee experience.
One of the most exciting aspects of this year’s event is the rich variety of exhibitors.
Country pavilions from Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Spain, and Turkey will return in force.
Moreover, the show is pleased to announce newcomers: Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Fiji will each host their own pavilions, reflecting the event’s expanding global footprint.
Innovative Networking Opportunities
To maximize networking chances, Cosmoprof North America will debut “My Match,” an innovative AI-driven matchmaking tool designed to link attendees with beauty brands and suppliers that align with their preferences.
This cutting-edge feature intends to create meaningful connections, enabling visitors to make the most of their time at the event.
Improvements to the overall experience will also be noticeable this year.
More registration desks will be available, and attendees can collect their badges up to two days in advance.
Responding to feedback, the convention center will offer a total of 18 food and beverage options—double what was available last time—encouraging lively interactions among attendees.
Returning Programs and New Initiatives
Familiar programs will return, including the Buyer Program, which attracts representatives from acclaimed retailers like Bloomingdale’s, Costco, HSN, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, SalonCentric, Urban Outfitters, and Walgreens.
Well-known brands such as Algenist, Clinique, Estée Lauder, Revlon, and Tula Skincare will also be present.
Highlighting innovative products, the CosmoTrends showcase will be featured, alongside educational sessions known as CosmoTalks.
These panel discussions—led by experts from Women’s Wear Daily and TikTok—will cover a range of insightful topics.
Also debuting in Miami is the Coaching Program, successfully launched in Las Vegas.
This initiative aims to aid exhibitors in refining their marketing approaches, sharpening their pitches, and effectively managing crucial meetings with industry leaders.
Selected exhibitors will benefit from structured networking sessions with experienced professionals, gaining invaluable insights into brand growth.
The coaching panel includes notable individuals like Janelle Freeman, a beauty product buyer with previous experience at Net-A-Porter; Karen Young, the founder of The Young Group; Liliana Dominguez, co-founder of SESPAA; Maria Torres, a seasoned Latina entrepreneur with extensive luxury representation; and Nicole Musco, the Director of Global Product Development at Jane Iredale.
