Registration Now Open for Professional Beauty Association’s 10th Annual Executive Summit

The Professional Beauty Association (PBA), the largest and most inclusive national trade organization representing the professional beauty industry, has opened registration for its 10th annual Executive Summit. 

 

The event will be held at Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, Arizona, on November 13 and 14. 

 

The Executive Summit 2023 offers participants an opportunity to stay ahead of change and to revolutionize within the dynamic beauty industry, embracing its ever-changing landscape. Attendees will explore strategies to stay up to date with trends and successfully adapt to the evolving wants and needs of consumers.

 

Featured Keynote Speakers this year include Crystal Washington, Futurist, Technologist, and Author of the books One Tech Action and The Social Media Why, and Daniel Levine, Executive Director of the Avant-Guide Institute, a New York-based trends consultancy. Washington will lead a session entitled “Harness AI Like ChatGPT for Enhanced Performance,” where she will share insights on how to use this cutting-edge technology to drive performance and take business to the next level. Levin will be hosting “Tressed to Impress: The New Face of Beauty Marketing,” in which he will delve into trends driving the rapidly evolving beautyscape and provide insider knowledge on what’s next in social and search.

 

“The Executive Summit is the industry’s premier event for beauty leaders to come together to connect and collaborate with the shared goal of uniting and elevating the beauty industry,” said PBA Executive Director Nina Daily. “This year’s theme of ‘The Next Normal- Revolutionizing in Beauty’ speaks to our vision of promoting forward-thinking leadership, growth, and support to both our members and industry professionals.”

 

For the first time at the Executive Summit, PBA is hosting two additional opportunities for networking: the PBA Golf Tournament, which will take place at the beautiful Arizona Biltmore course and includes lunch and awards, and The Biltmore Wine and History Tour, for those with a thirst for knowledge and good wine to enjoy a guided tour of the historic property, along with wine tasting and snacks along the journey.

 

The Arizona Biltmore has been a favorite vacation retreat to US presidents and movie stars since 1929, while also being one of the few hotels designed by legendary American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.

 

Registration is open at probeauty.org/execs.

For rising leaders who may not be at the career level to attend the Executive Summit, PBA has some upcoming opportunities to help junior and mid-level beauty professionals enhance their careers. On Monday, July 10, at Resorts World in Las Vegas, PBA is hosting the Future Leaders inaugural education event. Future Leaders is a powerful program for individuals who are in mid to upper-level management roles in manufacturing, distribution, and corporations/brands currently in the beauty industry that are motivated to advance in the industry's professional hierarchy. This event will connect leading entrepreneurs and business professionals in the beauty industry for a day of leadership education, mentorship, and networking.
