Personal Care Products Council Unveils 2025 Beauty Collective Summit Dates and Inspiring Keynote Lineup
PCPC’s flagship event returns to Florida and highlights where the beauty and personal care products industry is going and growing
WASHINGTON – Today, the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) announces the beauty industry’s most revered event, the 2025 Beauty Collective Summit. Scheduled for Feb. 18–20, 2025, at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne in Miami, Fla., this high-impact industry gathering unites top executives, thought leaders, and innovators in cosmetics and personal care. Attendees can expect three days of interactive sessions and insights into the industry’s most urgent priorities and projections of future progress.
“As we reimagined this annual gathering, the name ‘Beauty Collective’ emerged as a fitting description of where the future of beauty is heading,” said PCPC President and CEO Tom Myers. “This summit is a force multiplier for our industry, and ‘annual meeting’ did not fully encompass the vibrant assembly of diverse people and perspectives who shape, innovate and grow the beauty business. Executives, brand leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists and so many others have a role to play in what comes next in our industry.”
With a mix of live presentations, discussions and networking, the summit explores the forces reshaping the industry and provides actionable tools to help attendees lead the future of beauty. Sessions are broken into three tracks: Business Innovation, Science of Beauty, and Regulation & Compliance. Attendees can gain access to the latest research, peer connections, and expert advice to navigate current challenges and drive transformative impact.
