Indie Beauty Media Group (IBMG) will host the third annual Indie Beauty Expo (IBE) Dallas on Wednesday, May 15 and Thursday, May 16. The two-day exposition offers buyers, press, influencers, investors, and shoppers an opportunity to discover and transact with a vibrant collection of over 70 independent beauty brands from around the world. “The attendee to exhibitor ratio has been very favorable at the Dallas shows,” said co-founder Nader Naeymi-Rad. “Our team has worked incredibly hard forging strong relationships with Texas-area buyers and consumers. Furthermore, hosting the BeautyX Retail Summit in Dallas, which takes place the two days prior to IBE Dallas, enables many national and international buyers to participate in both events.” Beauty lovers are invited to attend SHOP INDIE (May 15) to discover and buy the best and newest independent beauty products and mingle with brand founders and owners. TRADE INDIE (May 16) is open only to trade, press, and industry professionals. IBE Dallas continues to deliver on the brand’s promise of showcasing the widest selection of commercially-ready, independent brands to buyers, press, and influencers. “We have many local brands and global brands that exhibit in Dallas, providing an interesting mix, from proprietary technology to fascinating founder stories and unique ingredients,” adds IBE Co-Founder Jillian Wright. “There is something here to pique everyone’s interest.” For the first time at IBE, a large-scale device used for body contouring procedures will be showcased on the floor. Erchonia’s Zerona Z6 Laser is the first device in the world to receive FDA clearance for non-invasive fat loss and body contouring. “We recently received over-the-counter clearance on the Zerona Z6 Fat Loss Laser, so the timing was perfect to bring this amazing technology to the spa industry where it can be utilized without a medical director,” said Joseph Zapolsky III, national sales manager for Erchonia Corporation. “IBE is the best place to meet and establish connections with high level industry professionals who need this product.” IBE Dallas 2019 will be IBE’s 13th show since its inception in 2014, solidifying IBE’s reputation as the premier destination to discover cutting-edge, independently owned beauty brands.
