Event Recap: The FAB Network presents "The Insider"

Event Recap -- The FAB Network presents "The Insider" -- Honey -- March 24, 2011

"FAB Takes You Inside the Beauty Industry"

Trade Associations -- Product Development -- Manufacturing

Last night, FAB hosted an event dedicated to unveiling industry secrets & tips on how a beauty product is conceived, launched and marketed to retailers and consumers. Makeup Artists, corporate professionals, entrepreneurs and college students packed the venue Honey to mingle and gain exclusive information from beauty industry leaders. We broke up into groups of three and each group had one confirmed professional leading the discussion. After fifteen minutes, each group was given a new professional. The candid and close-knit dialogue allowed everyone to ask questions and gain one-on-one time with the beauty professionals. The group discussion was followed by a networking mixer.

Confirmed Professionals Included:
Kelly Kovack (Co-Founder/CEO, Purpose-Built)
Mary J. Palmieri (Beauty Blogger & Wellness Business Development Executive, United Business Media / HBA Global)
Tamar Kamen (Senior Director of Product Development & Marketing, Maesa Beauty)

The professionals dived deep in conversation, helping attendees to understand the more technical angle of the beauty industry -- an aspect often times overlooked. As beauty professionals, it is important that we not only understand how a product functions and why we love a product, but the process in which it was created and the steps that lead to its market success. These ideas were the premise of last night's conversation. We learned FAB info, indeed!

Thank you again to everyone involved!

Take a look at the FAB pics!
