2 new features this year!

This year, the Symposium is adopting a hybrid format to reach a wider audience:
In person: at the Pathé Alésia cinema, 73 avenue du Général Leclerc, Paris 14th arrondissement
And remotely: via dedicated online access.

An ambitious programme to think and build together the beauty of tomorrow

Another new feature is that the sponsorship system has been redesigned to increase partner visibility and offer industry players a greater opportunity to showcase their commitment to the scientific and cosmetics community.

Two days of conferences and scientific sessions!

For twenty years, the Symposium has established itself as the leading French scientific event, with a demanding, fast-paced two-day programme conducted entirely in English, featuring plenary lectures by international experts and scientific sessions. Each session is followed by a question-and-answer session with participants.
