The First-Ever Summit Laser-Focused On Beauty Dealmaking
Beauty Independent’s Dealmaker Summit is widely recognized as the premier sector-specific professional event for leaders involved in fund raising, capital strategy and M&A in beauty and wellness.
Renowned for its best-in-class content, the Dealmaker Summit features an expertly crafted agenda focused on topics relevant to beauty and wellness dealmakers, carefully curated panels that provide relevant yet diverse perspectives, and original research and insights presented by Beauty Independent’s Editorial team.
Join a diverse group of the most influential dealmakers active in the space, including strategics, private equity, venture capital, family offices, angel investors, incubators, investment bankers, as well as founders and CEOs of high growth brands for two-days of peer-level thought leadership and networking.
Dealmaker remains one of my must-attend conferences each year.
The quality of content, well curated panels and panelists, combined with the senior-level engagement across the beauty and personal care ecosystem, makes it an essential gathering for anyone actively driving deals in the space.
