The organizer and producer of the event was Iuliia Andreeva, founder of Andreeva Consulting and a recognized expert in consulting for the beauty industry. According to Andreeva, the primary goal of the forum is to establish a professional platform where beauty experts can acquire practical tools for business growth, share their experiences, and establish valuable professional connections.

As the founder and executive producer, Iuliia Andreeva curated the program concept, selected speakers, and established partnerships with leading brands. Her vision of combining business education, innovation, and networking transformed the forum into a landmark event for the beauty community in the U.S.
