After a prolonged time spent indoors and in isolation, we’ve all savoured the opportunity to get out of the house and socialise more in the past few months. Industry events have been one of the most sorely missed aspects of the aesthetics field. The opportunity to network with like-minded professionals is an invaluable experience for both current and aspiring aestheticians.
As we speed through the first month of 2022, now is a great time to look at the aesthetics calendar for the coming year. From glamorous awards shows to exciting learning experiences, here’s a rundown of the events to see and be seen in 2022.
ACE
Held on the 11th and 12th of March at the Business Design Centre in London, the Aesthetics Conference & Exhibition (ACE) is one of the UK’s leading events for non-surgical aesthetics. The event brings professionals within the industry together for two days of learning, networking and thought leadership.
The ACE is the perfect opportunity to gain insight from industry experts into best practices for running an aesthetics business. With topics covering everything from injectable procedures to skin rejuvenation and complications management, the opportunities for education and development are endless. This year’s event will see a faculty of around 50 experts host 2000+ attendees, with an exhibition of over 80 leading brands showcasing the latest innovative technology in aesthetics medicine.
Aesthetics Awards
One of the most highly anticipated events on the aesthetics calendar and held on the evening of March 12th, the second day of the Aesthetics Conference & Exhibition, the Aesthetics Awards is a prestigious industry event that celebrates the achievements of clinics up and down the country.
The event will take place at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London, and will include a three-course meal and a special celebrity host. With categories such as “Best Clinic”, “Rising Star of the Year”, and “Consultant Surgeon of the Year”, this is a must-attend event for aesthetics clinics that wish to boost their status in the industry. More importantly, it’s a fantastic opportunity for aesthetician practitioner’s to come together and celebrate their combined contributions to one of the fastest-growing industries in the UK!
AMWC
The Aesthetics & Anti-Aging Medical World Congress (AMWC) is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting events on the aesthetics calendar. Held annually in Monaco, the three-day conference attracts 12,000 participants from more than 120 countries. The event features a highly interactive, collaborative and stimulating programme of events, with a number of workshops, lectures and exhibitions taking place over the course of the conference.
By choosing to attend this prestigious global conference, you can enjoy advanced academic presentations from key thought leaders and browse exhibitions from over 300 leading international aesthetics companies. Plus, all attendees will have the opportunity to obtain their yearly continual medical education certification. The best part of the AMWC is that even if you’re unable to make it to Monaco, there are plenty of exciting virtual sessions to attend from the comfort of your home. Don’t miss this year’s event, which will take place from 31st March to 2nd April.
FACE
On the 17th and 18th of June, the Facial Aesthetics Conference & Exhibition (FACE) will take over the Intercontinental London – the O2. This cutting-edge scientific conference is an indispensable hub for the latest clinical developments and updates in the aesthetic field. This year’s FACE will feature over 150 talks from leading clinicians from around the world, and topics of discussion will include hair, skin, injectables, equipment and threads.
