All I can say by walking around the show floor was that I believe those numbers! It’s absolutely huge, for those of you who are thinking about attending next year. Just announced on Sunday, PBA has launched a membership and retention campaign for gaining 500 new members within the year.Īccording to PBA, this year’s Cosmoprof had approximately 25,000 attendees from 90 countries around the world, and there were 700 exhibitors from 32 different countries. Scott Buchanan, Vice President of PBA started off the presentation, followed by Executive Director Steve Sleeper who tributed Pivot Point founder Leo Passage, and outlined PBA’s Road to Success (their accomplishments and how a stylist can become more successful through PBA membership). At this event they gave us a brief introduction to the show, and also what the Professional Beauty Association (PBA)has been doing as far as membership, their accomplishments, and partnerships. Sunday morning was a fantastic time in the Mandalay Bay Ballroom, where Jan Hillenmeyer, Stacey Soble and I all attended the PBA Symposium breakfast.

Cosmoprof attendees, exhibitors and members of the press were invited to honor Joico Vice President and General Manager Sara Jones as the National Professional Salon Industry's 2011 Spirit of Life Recipient. Saturday night's City of Hope Gala was in my opinion, the official kick-off for Cosmoprof North America 2011.

Arrived in Las Vegas at the decadent (and massive) Mandalay Bay Hotel-definitely a sight to see! From my hotel bedroom window you could see the mountaintops, the airplanes coming into Las Vegas, and a little bit of the famous Las Vegas Strip.Īfter getting settled, Stacey Soble, Editor-in-Chief of Salon Today and I attended a press conference on a new website that is being launched called, (at the Bellagio in Las Vegas), presented by Rick Kornbluth and Geoffery Nelson, who introduced the indie-based website, which focuses on topics like music, art and beauty all-in-one.
