Copy‑paste marketing is cheap. Real influence comes from anticipation: knowing what’s coming next, and responding before it arrives. In the beauty industry, that “what’s next” is often born on global stages like In‑Cosmetics Global and Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna.
These events aren’t just flashy trade shows — they’re convergence points for the science of beauty and the commerce of beauty. If you want a blueprint for where the market will be 3–5 years from now, these are two you cannot ignore.
But here’s the best part: you don’t have to fly across continents to leverage their insights. With the right partner (like Kam Di), those insights can be curated, localized, and delivered — bridging the gap between global trends and local execution.
