Real Connection Happens Organically

Meaningful things happen when the right people come together in the right place. Unlike many industry events, NEXT50 Summit has been purpose-built to be a catalyst for connection and more than superficial networking.

Programming and scheduling are designed to leave room for discussions that dig deeper than introductions and an event experience that allows guests to pull away from the activity and focus on direct interactions. This dynamic gathering of the best in beauty and wellness takes networking to the next level. The future is now—let's build it together.

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT

2. We’ve designed our entry process and fees to be accessible to organizations large and small. Groups applying for multiple awards will receive a 10% discount on subsequent entries.

3. Creating value for our BeautyMatter community is our North Star. Premium and Professional Members are entitled to a 10% discount on applications. Please email for your unique discount code. info@beautymatter.com

This means that the BeautyMatter Awards are a comprehensive annual survey of the best work across the global ecosystem of beauty.
