International brand expansion involves navigating regional legal and financial regulations. One approach to scaling involves partnering with local distributors, who provide immediate access to existing retail and salon networks in those markets.
The International Manufacturers & Distributors Forum (IMF), running alongside Professional Beauty London and Salon International this 4 - 5 October, 2026, is a premium, closed-door space designed for one specific purpose: connecting market-ready brands with elite global distributors.
What the delegates say:
"A must for any emerging brand owner."
Keisha Jo Lawler, Founder & Owner, Curly Therapy
"The conference is about sharing knowledge. Collaboration is key."
Oriele Frank, Co-Founder, Elemis
"Amazing networking opportunities."
Gaia Tonanzi, Marketing & Operations Manager, BCM Ltd
Partnering with the right distributor can turn a multi-year expansion struggle into a seamless, fast-tracked launch. Whether your brand is already retail-ready and built to scale, or you're just ready to get started, this is the exact room you need to be in.
