Access 80+ Classes, Shop & Connect With Beauty Pros Online
ISSE 2021 is celebrating the theme of reconnection—around passion, career, growth and community—to get back to business. The three-day ISSE digital experience will be powered by a professional e-commerce platform that enables connection, shopping and education. Attendees will be able to shop exclusive deals from their favorite brands, learn from over 80 classes featuring their favorite educators, and reconnect with the beauty community.
Reconnect: Visit Virtual Showrooms
The ISSE digital experience will connect attendees with each other through the ISSE social wall and digital messaging, and allow brand connections through virtual experiential showrooms—whether it’s getting live updates, product Q&As, live demos or virtual chats, networking and connecting will be at the forefront of the experience.
Shop Your Faves + Exclusive Deals
Through the unique ISSE digital experience platform, it’s easy for salon and spa pros to find brands, discover the latest trends, and shop their favorite products—and deals. All transactions are seamlessly processed through the platform; no logging into multiple sites.
Join The Online Educational Experience
The ISSE education lineup is designed to inspire, and will be a mix of hosted keynotes, plus on-demand business and technical training with top educators and artists.
“We’re excited to introduce the ISSE digital experience for 2021, which puts our partners’ and guests’ health and safety in front of all else,” shares Nina Daily, Chief Marketing Officer of the PBA. “With our theme of reconnection, we are looking forward to rekindling passion, creativity, and connection amongst the industry through this unique event.”
NAHA Is Moving To June 2021
