Thank you for choosing to exhibit at in-cosmetics Asia.
We understand preparing for an exhibition can be overwhelming, whether you’ve been an exhibitor before, or it’s your first time.
This is why we’ve created this checklist to support you in the run-up to and at the show.
It contains some key operational and marketing information and deadlines – and you can check your to-do list chronologically or in alphabetical order.
