International beauty and spa therapy standard-setter CIDESCO will hold its 64th World Congress and Exhibition in Dublin, Ireland from the 22 to 26 September 2016. Expected to attract delegates from around the world, the event provides the opportunity for beauty and skin therapy professionals to discuss industry issues, learn new skills and network.

Organised by CIDESCO Section Ireland, the theme for the five-day congress is ‘Into the Deep.’ The programme includes a CIDESCO Examiners’ Meeting, Schools’ Meeting, General Assembly (by invitation only) and two days’ Professional Beauty Exhibition & Lecture programme which is open to trade visitors. Lectures will feature speakers who will discuss the latest trends, procedures, ingredients, business management skills and financial advice.

The Congress will also include a welcome reception, an evening at a traditional Irish Pub and a Gala Dinner at Dublin’s Doubletree by Hilton, where CIDESCO members and guests will celebrate the organisation’s 70th anniversary.

“Dublin, with its warm hospitality and easy access, is the perfect location to be hosting our 64th World Congress and the 70th anniversary of CIDESCO,” said Anna-Cari Gund, CIDESCO International president.

“We are looking forward to seeing many of our members and welcoming new recruits while we work together in ensuring high standards throughout the industry.”
