It’s the innovative contributions from our exhibitors that make this event what it is, and without them, the industry wouldn’t have achieved such progress. We extend our congratulations to the shortlisted nominees and look forward to celebrating the winners, at the ceremony in Bangkok soon,” said Sarah Gibson, Event Director of in-cosmetics Asia.
