In conceiving Beauty Beginnings, we wanted to create a distinctive platform for talent from around the world to join an already incredible line-up at Beautyworld Middle East 2024. By giving buyers and distributors priority access to some of the most exciting names to enter the industry in recent years, Beauty Beginnings is an unmissable destination where you can discover something different, something ground-breaking, and something you’ve not seen before.
In a welcome exchange of ideas, insight, and thought leadership at Beauty Beginnings, Valérie Kaminov will inform and inspire the region’s beauty retail and distribution sector on myriad topics, including how to expand into new regions for brands, finding the right business partners, and how having a wider, less traditional and more diverse partner outreach can achieve impressive results, as well as deliver a business collaboration that helps you navigate the nuances of new markets.
