in-cosmetics Global celebrates success with its first smart event Back in Amsterdam for the first time in ten years, in-cosmetics Global returned for the 29th instalment of the show, but this time with a digital facelift. Thanks to smart visitor badges and stand readers, making the right connections for that next cosmetic creative was made easier and even more efficient. And yet, smart technology was only the start of the show s 2018 story: innovation echoed throughout the event with new initiatives Boost your test, the R&D tours, the Pre-Regulatory Show Conference, and the muchanticipated Formulation Challenge, seeing collaboration and creativity celebrated in abundance. The event was a resounding success, with 9,414 unique visitors (7% more than last year in London) flooding into the exhibition halls over three days to meet with 773 exhibitors. Fragrances were spritzed, pigments were tried, and formulas were tested for their innovative textures and benefits across 16,634m 2 of floorspace which made 2018 the biggest show in in-cosmetics history. The exhibition also saw a 19% increase from last year in international visitor attendance, joining exhibitors from 43 countries - 11% of which were presenting their products at the event for the first time making this year a truly global show.

The show provides an unmissable opportunity to meet my contacts in reality - I managed to meet an incredible number within three short days and some of them were first-time meetings. It is so important to be able to get that faceto-face time to strengthen relationships and in-cosmetics is brilliant for gathering the entire industry in one place and faciliating networking this way Dominic Hodge, Strategic Operations Buyer, Coty (Visitor)

Lucy Whitehouse, Editor, Cosmetics Design Europe (Press) The Formulation Labs are invaluable for professionals in R&D. The chance to try out new formulations under the eye of a trained expert is such a brilliant perk of the show. I attended three lab sessions during the show and found them all to be incredibly useful and I learned a lot, in particular, about polymer extracts.
