WHY INVESTORS ATTEND

The insight and access to back the right brands.

From the Emerging Brand Spotlight to The Modern Investment Playbook and the Deal Structure Debate, the agenda gives you the insight and access you need across all three days. Sessions go deep on what sustainable margins look like, how to read operational signals, and where beauty capital is moving.

The gap between a compelling brand story and a fundable business shows up in the details.
