Beauty West Africa will organise its seventh edition, which will run from November 26 to 28, 2024, at the Landmark Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The event is expected to host over 300 exhibitors drawn from around the world, with more than 5,500 beauty and hair professionals expected to attend the show.
The event, which is Africa’s largest beauty trade exhibition promises 300+ exhibitors.
Already the continent’s largest beauty and cosmetics trade event, while Beauty West Africa will be expanding into a fourth exhibition hall this November.
According to a statement issued by the senior group exhibition manager of B to B, Ken Barber, the country pavilions confirmed so far were China, Turkey, Pakistan and Korea, and strong exhibitor delegations are expected from Egypt, Europe, the United Arab Emirates, and the USA.
The exhibition will also place a spotlight on local entrepreneurs promoting Nigeria’s small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Seminars, demonstrations and tutorials and the conference running alongside the exhibition will give exhibitors an opportunity to showcase new products and highlight beauty trends and techniques to a vast audience. And new for this year will be a ‘Battle of the Barbers challenge’ on Day 3 of the Conference.
He stated that Beauty West Africa is organised to see the show’s annual growth in popularity both with exhibitors and visitors.
“We are looking forward to welcoming the huge number of participants to this year’s Beauty West Africa. The extensive range of SMEs, importers, distributors, retailers and beauty and hair professionals all contribute to the success and popularity of Africa’s leading beauty, cosmetics and hair trade event.
“The consistent increase in demand each year has meant we have now had to expand into the fourth hall at the Landmark Exhibition Centre. With so many new products and businesses on display, we know our visitors from Nigeria and across West Africa will really appreciate the opportunities to find new trade partners and build on existing business relationships with our many repeat exhibitors,” it stated.
The organiser explained that this year’s Beauty West Africa is being supported by the Federation of West Africa Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FEWACCI), whic will also be speaking at the conference.
“By supporting Beauty West Africa 2024, FEWACCI can promote the beauty and cosmetics industry as a key sector in the region’s growing economy. The event aligns with FEWACCI’s mission to enhance trade relations within ECOWAS and across the globe, allowing exhibitors and participants to access a lucrative market,” said the organisation.
To assist exhibitors, whether new or returning, BtoB Events offers a range of support packages. “We will help you every step of the way. From visas to hotels, from SIM-cards and Wi-Fi to stand build and design,” said Mr Baber.
“We want you to be able to connect with the region’s largest importers, retailers and distributors who are looking for new suppliers to represent.”
