Revealed: agenda and speaker line-up for beauty event PB Online (April 7–8)

As the beauty and spa industry gear up to reopen post-coronavirus lockdown, Professional Beauty Group is hosting two-day virtual event Professional Beauty Online on April 7–8 to equip you with all the skills you need to do this successfully. 

Across the two days, we will have industry leaders sharing their valuable business advice on everything from digital marketing and retailing, to how to up your average client spend and tweak your treatment prices accordingly, to make sure your restart after lockdown is a success. 

On the PB Online platform you will also be able to virtually meet and connect with likeminded professionals ahead of reopening to share ideas and stories, as well as find inspirational products to help you wow clients when you’re back in your salon or spa. 

At 3pm each day we will also have speed networking sessions where you can gain valuable contacts to help your business thrive in the future. 

Below, we outline the free education you can expect from our PB Online event and the top speakers delivering the sessions. It’s not to be missed.
