Are you ready for it? BeautyCon is a fashion and beauty summit for the internet’s most influential beauty and fashion icons and their ever-growing number of fans. And on May 24th, 2014, BeautyCon will be making its NYC debut!
BeautyCon has already taken over LA and London in the past two years, and now it’s bringing all the fun to New York! Hundreds of content creators and celebs will come together to network, mingle, talk industry news, discuss the future of online media and participate in panel discussions and Q&As.
This one day event is geared toward tech savvy “Millennial Generation” women, dubbed by BeautyCon’s creators as “Generation Connected.” Through their astute communication, they’ve got the power to shape the perceptions and decisions of women ages 13-34, who collectively spend about $405 billion a year, and will spend more than $12 billion on cosmetics, shoes, apparel and accessories annually. Asserts Moj Mahdara, CEO of BeautyCon:
“We are significant. We are connected. We are the voice of influence. BeautyCon is empowering the digital fashion and beauty community, especially as digital media is reshaping the way a whole generation thinks about beauty, attractiveness and the norms defined by traditional print and electronic media.”
This one day event will be host to interactive presentations, live performances, content creation, shopping, games and plenty of industry news. Attendees will also learn about new products and, above all, be able to interact with the internet’s most popular beauty icons. Event details for the Los Angeles, Houston and London events are forthcoming.
Among some of the celebrity and digital influencers invited to attend the BeautyCon include YouTubers Kandee Johnson and Dulce Candy; Designer, Whitney Port and Celebrity Stylist Johnny Wujek. Check out the FULL GUEST LIST HERE!

The events gave way to two trending hashtags with more than 18 million internet viewers exposed to #BeautyCon; and, over the course of the three day event in Los Angeles, BeautyCon received more than 230,000 mentions on Facebook alone. The event boasted twenty-two panels and hosted Q&As and had activations built around one hundred brands. More than 10,000 screaming fans flooded into the event to meet their style and fashion icons and peers.
