Curate Beauty to host new virtual trade show for indie beauty brands

Independent beauty wholesale marketplace Curate Beauty is to host its first ever Virtual Trade Show this September.

The four-day ‘Meet-Your-Match’ event will focus on forging connections between brands and retailers – with daily ‘Curated Talks’ designed to give a wide array of indie beauty brands the chance to pitch their product lines.

More than 50 brands are currently lined up for product pitches – with each granted a three-minute power slot.

The event will also feature Headline Talks from industry experts and networking opportunities between brands, retailers and service providers.

Headline speakers so far include industry experts from Stylus, The Stack.World, Lone Design Club, Beauty Banks and Yuty with more names to be announced over the coming weeks.

Beauty Banks has also been named the show's official charity partner - with a portion of ticket sales being donated to support the fight against hygiene poverty in the UK.

The event comes as the need to digitise wholesale becomes  “more crucial than ever for independent businesses,” Curate Beauty said.
