Taneesa Williamson The Aesthetic and Beauty Industry Council debuted their inaugural event, opening Beauty Expo Australia weekend.
The Non-For-Profit industry association Aesthetic and Beauty Industry Council (ABIC) made an impactful burst onto the Beauty Expo weekend event itinerary as travel and in-person events are well and truly back. In collaboration between Phorest Salon Software and Reed Exhibitions, the Aesthetic and Beauty Industry Council showed up in full force with not one, but two activations.
Hosted by dynamic duo Council Member and Director of Education for the International Dermal Institute Emma Hobson, and CEO of ABIC and Dermalist, Stefanie Milla, the exclusive members only networking event kicked off the weekend spectacularly on Friday night at Café Del Mar overlooking Cockle Bay Wharf at Darling Harbour. Made possible with thanks to Phorest Salon Software, the room of 300+ attendees were introduced to the ABIC Council Members, Gay Wardle, Karla McDiarmid, Keira Maloney, Maria Enna-Cocciolone, Matt Williams, Reika Roberts and Tamara Reid, before indulging in an awe-inspiring showcase of fireworks, accompanied by the buzz of conversation and cheer of in-person conversation which was so visibly missed due to the last few years of distancing.
Making their debut appearance at Beauty Expo Australia was a resounding success thanks to their professionally comfortable members-only lounge area, which included bespoke meet and greets as well as private access to food and beverage and exclusive time made available with the ABIC Council Members, Supplier Members and ABIC team. Networking conversations with like-minded business owners, as well as featuring a space for rest and relaxation, was just what a busy day of shopping and speaking needed.
“Connection and conversation is at the heart of everything we do at the Aesthetic and Beauty Industry Council, and by attending and exhibiting at the expo, it gave us the ability to do that in our own unique way, while continuing to support the incredible industry initiatives that our industry offers like Beauty Expo Australia.” says Stefanie Milla, CEO of ABIC.
