THE STEP BY STEP CONFERENCE FOR START UP PRACTITIONERS
THE STEP BY STEP CONFERENCE FOR START UP PRACTITIONERS
The Aesthetics Business Conference is back for 2023, helping to support practitioners in taking their aesthetic business to the next level.
The sixth Aesthetics Business Conference (ABC) will be held on 19 September at the iconic grade one listed Royal College of Physicians, in their award-winning conference centre. It will be an all-day in-person CPD accredited event running from 9:00am until 5.30pm.
From initial business set up, support and advice, best practice and everything in between, ABC is an expert guide to help you start your personal journey within the cosmetic industry.
The agenda for the day features carefully selected industry experts to help guide practitioners through the common pitfalls, helping you to achieve ultimate business success.
This year, the Aesthetics Business Conference is split into two key areas of focus aimed at supporting practitioners with practical business advice as well as top tips on future proofing your business following the upcoming industry legislative changes.

The morning sessions will focus on practitioners’ business development and management.
And new for 2023, the afternoon will feature a series of medicolegal sessions in association with the Joint Council of Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) including tax, legislation, regulation and insurance.
A medicolegal panel session will also close this year’s conference, providing practitioners with the opportunity to discuss the Government consultation for the new non-surgical cosmetic license in England and new licensing proposals.
The panel includes the following key industry commentators:
• Professor David Sines CBE, JCCP
• Sarah Clover, Barrister of Kings Chambers
• Andrew Rankin, Trustee at JCCP
• Diane Hey, Founder and CEO at the Hair and Beauty Industry Authority (HABIA)
