Microbiome Connect: Skin EU 2021

Translating the latest skin microbiome research from clinic to the consumer

DOWNLOAD 2021 AGENDA
VIRTUAL EVENT
7-9 December, 2021

PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES: Based on your objectives, we can create bespoke packages designed specifically to meet your company’s needs. We’re dedicated to helping you showcase your services and make valuable new connections. Opportunities lie in 3 main categories: thought leadership, branding and networking. Contact us below for further information.

Why Attend

With key CPG brands launching skin microbiome focused brands over the last few years, skin microbiome is entering the mainstream of the beauty and personal care industry. The field is still in a nascent stage, but as next generation sequencing techniques and big data analysis improve, a galaxy of new information is set to be uncovered. With new regulation coming in to hold back the use of unsubstantiated claims, with high profile cases including Clariant, understanding the research and governing of this space has never been more important.

Join us this December to find out about the latest R&D and regulation that is shaping the direction for skin microbiome product development with our expert speaker faculty of key industry representatives and academics.

"An amazing event, bringing you close to industrial representatives and providing you with the opportunity to not only understand what companies are doing but also to talk with them in engage in discussion. What a great networking opportunity" - KU Leuven
