Past event: Cosmetic Compliance Conference

Welcome to the 2015 Cosmetic Compliance Conference - Created by the industry, for the industry.

After holding the Cosmetic Compliance Conference in September of 2014, we received overwhelming feedback and insight surrounding the many challenges that you are facing in understanding regulatory guidelines of some of the leading and emerging personal care and cosmetics markets of the world such as; European Union, Latin America,  China, Asia/Pacific, South Africa, and India.

This event is so timely to the industry because it is positioned to not only address where your organization stands in its global compliance journey, but how you are continuing to look at the scope of regulatory affairs that pan across the globe.

At the 2015 Summit, we will be posing  pivotal questions regarding how strong your organizations efforts are to benchmark globally, and continue to help you either expand into new markets or continue to establish your brands presence.


If you can answer yes to these questions, you cannot afford to miss this Summit!

  • Have you considered the future of your organization by building a comprehensive compliance system to be prepared for global regulatory updates?
  • Is your organization working towards eliminating variances of your products going into China, as compliance initiatives continue to mirror the European Union standards?
  • Have you considered the business benefits behind a successful compliance initiative program that will continue to protect your consumers?
  • Would you benefit from hearing first hand accounts of successful product launches in emerging markets such as South Africa and India?
  • Is your company looking to stay up-to-date on the latest “drug” vs “cosmetic” specifications in the United States, in order to avoid significant claims and labeling errors?
  • Are you looking for specific guidance on recent Canadian regulations for your products market entry procedures, and post market surveillance?
  • Are you interested in hearing over 12 hours of in-depth and candid case studies with a global focus from some of the leading companies in the industry?
