Who's going to America's Beauty Show in Chicago this year? Only a couple weeks away now and I know I'm counting down the days to some fun and education with my fellow industry peers. I have already registered to attend Jan Arnold's class on Sunday. What classes are you looking at? Did you know there are more than 450 exhibitors at ABS? I will be walking the show floor all three days. Would you like me to have a set time each day that I would be at the NAILS booth for easy finding to meet and chat?
Let's kick off Saturday night together at the FREE All-Star Trend-Talk Panel on Saturday, March 22 at 4:00 p.m. Learn what's happening from these incredibly in-the-know beauty leaders: Nick Irwin, TIGI; Mark Hayes, Sassoon Academy; Jan Arnold, CND; John Simpson, Goldwell; Gerard Scarpaci & Randy Taylor, hairbrained.me; and Kelly Ehlers, Evoke Brands.
For the tech geeks like me out there, ABS has a show mobile app available via Google Play and the App Store! Simply search for America's Beauty Show, and you'll find it! The integration between the app and the show registration system enables you to go into the system with your registration confirmation number and you'll see all the wonderful events attached to your registration. I will come back at you with user tips as the show gets closer and I've had a chance to play in the app.
Roll call Chicago, sign in below and if you're working a booth, let us know where!
