This event is over
Beauty beyond borders
Discover "The Colors", a unique event coming to New York for the first time, where Afro-descendant culture and traditions will be revealed through exceptional fragrances and beauty products. Designed to help you seize new market opportunities, this event begins with an expert conference, followed by a networking cocktail, and concludes with a business dinner.
Understanding and shaping
the future of multicultural beauty
With The Colors, we propose a format dedicated to encounters and exchanges that transcend the usual barriers. We aim to bring together individuals and ideas that would otherwise never have crossed paths.
The Colors is a melting pot of ideas, expertise and invaluable market insights. It brings together experts from the cosmetics and fragrance industry to share knowledge and experiences in an elegant and convivial setting. It's a unique opportunity to share, learn and network while addressing the challenges of sustainable development, diversity and inclusion.
This event will give you the opportunity to better understand the expectations of the Afro-descendant beauty market, to think about how to turn this trend into a market opportunity, and to imagine how you could use African rituals and ingredients as a marketing lever with Afro-descendant consumers.
Would you like to attend the conference, the dinner, or both? Everything is possible.
